A Note From Karen

Jambo everybody. About time you heard something from us, sivio? We had a great two weeks with Kelly and Lauren! Thanks for sending and supporting them.

Thanks too for all the good stuff that came with them! The chocolate was enjoyed daily, the clothes were a wonderful added blessing for the kids at Djadri's children's place in Bunia, and the other bits and bobs (English for bits and pieces)from different ones were appreciated as well.. Thx for the gadgets, Alex - and stuff for 'italian'.

I very much appreciated Kelly's contribution to my quality of life as she made our home 'liveable' (at least for me as the PeptoBismal dingy pink made me cringe) with the new paint job and totally transformed my filing cabinet. Besides that she helped out in numerous other places and ways (which are mostly covered already in the blogging reports I believe). A huge thanks, Kelly, for your contributions. It was great to have you here.

And Lauren! What can I say. What a privilege and blessing and what fun to have been able to introduce you to Africa! Thanks for being ready for anything! Thanks for coming.

with greetings and love to all
Karen
