The women are so amazingly strong and competent -beauty in motion as they go about daily chores, wash,wood, fires, cooking, tending children, working fields…,hard life, simple, dignity, beauty

Spent the day in a remote village with a school visit, an afternoon mentoring and playing with the children and home visits. These children and families are so thankful and so incredible in spirit and stamina- I love this village and want to return to teach one day!

Yay for a hot?!?!?! Shower, a brush, and
Braids

Unbelievable Day!

Christmas Eve was wonderful… Spent in Kauleani with Osala and her family in a stunningly beautiful mountaintop village. Children came for welcome ceremony.. We brought along a tree with lights, chocolates, and presents for the girls and the village. The children had never heard of Christmas but loved hearing the Christmas story, sang along with Christmas carols, and continued to repeat “happy Christmas!!!”

Billy Brenda Daniels …this one is for you! The girls from Chitwan were SO excited about the scarves you made for them- they said to tell “mam” Merry Christmas. The bright colors against their beautiful dark skin and their big smiles and squeals of excitement said it all!

These girls are just amazing to watch
