DIANA and I :) :) :)

This picture was lost in cyber space for WAY too long. I just got my hands on it last week and it is officially my favourite. I bought this material in Uganda and brought my friends daughter with me to get measured since I knew I would have extra. A week later I got Diana to put on her dress and when her mom saw us matching she started crying and crying and crying! She was SO happy! All the 'white kids' in Kenya were asking me where I got this dress so I gave her mom a loan and we went to Uganda together to buy more materials. Within a week she'd made FORTY DOLLARS. She never had this much money in her entire life. She told me that because of me, she was finally able to put food on the table for her three children. I can't explain how that feels ... when someone tells you that you just changed their life forever. I also helped her husband to get a position as a volunteer with the local red cross since I had connections while I was there. Since I've returned, I've heard that she is still selling the material and that they have used some of the money they've made to start a poultry project. I'm so sooooo proud of them. I could just scoop this little girl up and adopt her!!!! So sweet!
