in South Africa. I can easily say it was the most rewarding, life changing experience of my life. Here are a couple of pictures...
This is me with a burn victim at a local hospital. She was such a sweet little girl-- it was so heartbreaking.
Some kids at the orphanage we worked at. All the kids there are HIV-positive and are getting medical care. Aren't they adorable!!!???
A room at the hospital we painted.
My husband and I at the Suspension Bridge at Oribi Gorge. I totally cannot believe I went across this!!
I would love to tell anyone more about my trip! There are SO many needs- the poverty in South Africa is overwhelming. We saw people living in shacks with dirt floors, orphaned 13 years olds raising their siblings. The area we worked in is 75% HIV positive, and the government is doing nothing to change things. It was a wonderful, heartbreaking, eye-opening trip.

Wow.....that is amazing. And, those precious little faces are so sweet. And, it makes me want to adopt them all! Of course, Brad would probably say no...but I can at least pray for them.
