Tanzanian Hope Fund

I just received a letter from my friend Gail in Tanzania and she has thanked everyone for their comments on my last post...and while she told me NOT to put her joke up it seems to me everyone that read it were happy they did. Plus, she's in Tanzania and she can't stop me from doing it ..HAHA. I will probably set up a page for just her pictures and some of the things she is and has been doing since September 2006. Right now I'd just like to show you some more of the photos she's sent me and some excerpts from her letters:


Our newest Orphan, only 10 days old.



"THIS IS THE AFRICAN "HILTON" ON THE WAY TO THE ARUSHA ORPHANAGE"---and below
This IS "46TH STREET, NYC.," JUST BEFORE THE ARUSHA ORPHANAGE!!!!




JUST GIVING YOU A FEEL FOR LIFE IN TANZANIA !!



The girls cooking the Kibowa (Arusha) Orphanage

The 2 "MAMAS" at this orphanage presented Gail with a Konga, a 2 piece traditional dress, as a way for them to say Thanks to Gail and all those who have helped..In Gail's letter she said "The Mamas sewed it themselves" ..."It was such a Gift" There's a picture of her wearing it in previous post.

The Gifts people make themselves are always the most cherished ones!
