What we'll remember...


We’ll remember SO many things, of course. But one of the things we’ll remember the most is the babies and little children we’ve met in Uganda. They are so cute and beautiful, and so eager, and their future is anything but certain.

We have had wonderful chances to meet many of them, and since Theresa is away on a safari, I thought I should share one of her little friends with you. This was at the ceremony to open the wonderful new Bead for Life village a week or so ago, and this baby, daughter of one of the beaders, is appropriately clutching one of the Bead for Life necklaces in her hand. She seems quite happy to be with jjaja (grandmother) Theresa, perhaps, uh, because the skin tones are so similar!

As for that safari, Theresa is back at Murchison Falls, this time with Brother Phil, and when I talked to her on the phone today she said they saw seven lions. I am jealous!!!

But I went to the VJ Slam. More on that later.
