Nothing Like Coloring......

These kids are a blast...... (see post below).

CRAFT TIME!!

Okay - so what else is there to say with a smile like this one?!?? This last Saterday, we held our weekly "Kids of Hope" outreach and .......as usual, had a blast. I'm always amazed at how even just the simple little things like coloring can still bring the biggest smiles to these kids faces!!

Good Eats!

Now - THIS is the way to eat rice!!! All hands - no silver ware - totally West African style!!!

Pure Joy!

Did I mention - it's good to be back?

BACK IN ACTION!

Alas! I was able to get back into the program here with our awesome group of kids this last Saterday morning. What a blast! They were all shouting my local name "Ya Ya" and wondering how my trip to "Americky" was. Too cute! Needless to say - we had a blast! Oh - and did I mention that they ALL love the camera.

Return to Ouaga!!

Round 2 for West Africa!!

After arriving on a waaaay too early Air Moracco flight here in Ouagadougou, I was relieved to discover that the rain was falling quite frequently - making for a rather sticky but super comfortable stay. With 4 new interns arriving this last weekend, we already have a full packed schedule with meetings and planning for the months ahead.
It's exciting for me cause with the cool rain and fresh air that it brings, it's almost as though I can FEEL the difference in the air!!! It's a GREAT feeling to have both feet on the ground with a figuratively "full plate" in front of me. There will be a lot to share in the Blogs to come..........
