I’m here safe and sound in Rwanda, Africa and am ready to start shopping for gifts for our kids! Gifts were donated and shipped from VA for the 50 kids at CSC (children’s support center) now I need to buy for the 100 at SINAPRISI! We only have a small amount of money to work w/…so I have to be savvy with what I buy. I bet I can find some cool things that they will like!

We have two holiday parties planned … One at each center..w/ cake, fanta and PRESENTS!! Friday is the one for CSC. Thursday is the party at SINAPRISI. I’m really excited to see these kids b/c I didn’t get to conduct their camp this summer. I had to leave to get back to NYC for work. It was so touching to get their words of missing me…and now I can see them! So happy! Christmas miracle and thankful for the week my company gives us all off for vaca. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to do this for hope shines!

I will keep updating abt how the parties go and will post (internet willing, here) pics of their parties!
