We had our fundraiser at the women's group today. We needed to raise the remainder of the money for their fee for the NGO. We made it! What a great feeling. The women made things to sell (bracelets, African plaques, shirts, hats, necklaces, etc.). We also sold pop, candy, beer, and banana wine. You do not want to try banana wine! I have had it before and it is clearly the worst drink ever! hahaha....
Then we had some shaky shaky (that's code for dancing). It is now my favorite thing to say and you definitely will hear me say it!
Then we had a raffle and one of our volunteers from CCS won. It was fun for the volunteers to see and meet our women of the group and vice verse. Great day!
Now for the best news....I took Calvin and Margaret to get them back in school. Thanks to all of you...they are now enrolled in school for the remainder of the year and for all of 2009 and 2010. How awesome!!!!! I am now Mama Kelli to them. You all warned me not to bring home any children so instead I have children in Africa! I have them in my heart forever.
