Don't get discouraged by the seemingly overwhelming need and amount of work that needs to be done - at least you're contributing to the solution(s). I have no doubt that you will make a difference in the lives of many children/families. You are an inspiring young woman whose kind heart and giving spirit are just what those kids - and the world - needs. Keep up the good work(s) and don't forget to have some fun too. You're in my thoughts and prayers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166384718229045551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608008560388264997.post-18595961287055978542009-08-20T09:19:45.733-07:002009-08-20T09:19:45.733-07:00Maddie!

The work you're doing is so important... even if it's just a drop in the bucket!<br />It's mind-blowing when you stop to think just how many people are HIV positive there. All of those kids!! It makes me sad! Especially when it's so easy to prevent the transmission from mom to baby. But it's easier said than done when you're dealing with that kind of poverty. You are an amazing woman...Aurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251434036351404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608008560388264997.post-16731965714554604572009-08-15T14:16:33.068-07:002009-08-15T14:16:33.068-07:00My dear sweet Maddie, how wonderful to get your up...My dear sweet Maddie, how wonderful to get your updates. A lot of people have good intentions but rarely do anything about them. How refreshing to know that YOU ARE making a difference. We are so proud of you. Keep up the good work and have fun. Oh, how about some handmade crafts that could be sold here in the U.S. at churches? Just a thought. I would love to be involved in making that happen,.<br />Jill and PaulNanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00037132702707992227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608008560388264997.post-79474398603583048332009-08-10T16:04:12.534-07:002009-08-10T16:04:12.534-07:00Sounds like the work has just begun, Remember to ...Sounds like the work has just begun, Remember to savor the time and enjoy it while you can.

It's supposed to warm back up this week. <br /><br />I'm glad you're enjoying your time so much. Your projects sound like a lot of fun and a lot of work. It will be awesome to get to know everyone at the organizations to be able to network with them. <br /><br />Keep up your hard work... we're cheering you on!Ms. Saltihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789358108866680673noreply@blogger.com
