So we are gonna be out in the streets of Africa. I can't even tell you that I have ever even thought about this day being a reality. Unbelievable. So some of you know that JJ works in construction and is fluent in Spanish. So, his co-workers were very inquisitive about this trip. One of them, Sabino, asked if he could give us a few dollars to take some pictures. I thought that was so sweet so I told JJ I would make him a disk. Just before we left, JJ came home and told me Sabino gave him $45. He told JJ he wanted to make sure he found someone who 'looked' really poor and give him/her $10. JJ asked him why? Sabino explained that he came from poverty and by coming to America, he found he could live a rich life. He is so thankful and wanted to pass something along to someone else.
Does this put a smile on your face or what?
Here are a few fun items we are gonna be handing out. Morphotek provided a few polo shirts, hats and a blanket. OVA1 provided some t-shirts. Teal Diva provided shirts, beads, nail polish and ribbons.
Here are the awareness cards:)! Can't forget my girl Carey:)!
