Presents for the kiddies













Most of Karen's luggage is always taken up with toys and clothes for the local kiddies. This year she excelled herself rallying her work colleagues and friends. A huge holdall was packed to bursting point with clothes and half her suitcase was toys and goodies for our guide. Albert asked us to take them to a local orphanage where the kids just had the clothes they stood up in and had never had a toy in their lives. It certainly brings it all home and Karen shed many a tear. Even the local priest came out to meet us and then we were invited to their church where the whole service was dedicated to us, wishing us a happy life and hoping we go to heaven xx The kids were more than happy with all their new gear and there was a lot of smiling faces around.
