So far this trip has been amazing. We have been working so hard in the village. The weather has been hot and humid. Everyday we take a two hour bump road on a bus just to get to this village. We work in the village and get so dirty that our skin is litterly 5 shades darker, but none of us care. It is more than worth every minute of it. It is amazing how much you learn about a cultures past and present when you surround yourself in it. These girls in the picture are my new friends. They thought is was so funny when I said i would carry the baby on my back. It is very easy to make them laugh and as you can see they are beautiful. I miss my family very much, but I know the work I am doing here is making a difference. Can't wait to see everyone and show you the great pictures of this beautiful village in the middle of Africa. Sorry it has taken so long to write anything, we have just been so busy and there are only 2 laptops between 19 people. Would love to hear from you!
Love and hugs Lori
Sorry issues with photo upload. Will post photo later separately.
