I just realized that I hadn't given anyone proof that I was alive, so here is a picture of my with some of my children. They go crazy every morning when I show up and touch my hair and arms because I have hair on my arms and they don't. They are also fascinated by my blue veins:
I am interested in what the lives of my kids are like at home, since most of them are orphans living with other relatives or with only one parent because the other has died of AIDS, so over the next few weeks I will be making home visits and compiling records of each childs' situation. Also, I just found out that a lot of the children have not been tested for HIV even though most of their parents have it, so I am working on organizing a testing day for the kids and their guardians. This will cost about 100 dollars, but it is worth it for these children. Please pray that this all works out and that God will continue to give me the energy to love these kids as much as I can everyday.
Life is so simple here. Most of the afternoons I just sit around and talk with the other volunteers. I must remember to sit down and just spend time talking with the people around me when I get back.
I love you all and miss you too,
Hannah

By the way, I think I saw Grandma Oprah walking down the street last night. It was pretty late and she was all alone. You might want to ask Ryan about that!

Hannah love the pictures and it was good to see you.
love Mom and Dad
Hannah -Natalie and Aubree viewed your pictures. They were fascinated by the children touching you. They were sad that they do not know love and have no parents or felt a hug. Natalie told me to tell you she loves you very much. She is thinking hard of what to write. She took a lot of time to tell me what to say. Love Natalie and Aubree.
