We visited the orphanage, TunaHAKI, with Scott for the first time yesterday to see the children in person for first time since last year. It's difficult to put into words how emotional and moving the whole experience was. All of the children remembered us and gave us huge hugs and patted our backs. We were introduced to the new younger children too. They all said in English, "Hello my name is . . . ."
The children were delighted with our gifts. The spinning plates were a real hit..also the books and shoes. They were forever greatful. Their smiles were so touching.
Dorrie spent time with David reviewing the architectural plans for the new dormitories and theatre and training space.
There is space planned for visiting atists which would make things easier for visitors. Maggie had a great time dancing and drumming with a big group of very rhythmic and excited kids. Those kids are awesome drummers!
We are on our way to visit the children the with entire group on the retreat 15 in all. We plan to do some writing, yoga and some gymnastics. We will try to write again soon but internet use is VERY limited around here.
