Memories to last a lifetime and it’s apparent that your second family cares for you so much. We’re looking forward to hearing stories from you (in person) of your travels and experiences!

It sounds like you all had a wonderful celebration. How fun that your brother has the same birthday!

I really enjoy seeing what is going on in your Senegal life. What an adventure!

The party and all the attention is an indication of the positive impact you are having on the children and adults in your family there. We are certain the education they are receiving from you is so important and highly valued, as is all that you will take away from your stay there. One could not ask for a more generous, ambitious and dedicated person than your. Stay well. Carole and Jim
