Together with the Giraffe project (see
www.giraffeproject.org),
Karen, John, and Lydia traveled to Nairobi, Kenya. (In 2007
(
photos here) Mark joined
them too)
Below, Karen and the kids together with Judith, Esther (back row, left
to right),
Maureen and Cliff (front row, left to right), the four children we
support.
Last time we were in Kenya (2007), Karen had her hair cornrowed, but we
ran out of time to have Lydia's hair done.
This time Lydia was determined that we wouldn't make that same mistake,
so first thing, she had herself transformed!
It took three hours, but it was worth it for Lydia...
Look at her smile:
