Worth it Moments :) and some pictures

Getting pictures with the kids is my favorite thing :)

Rafting the Nile - it was Beautiful!

Playing soccer with the kids. They love playing with me even though I totally school them ;)

My legs after playing soccer

I am learning to appreciate so much more than just the big regular things. (Showers, toilets, chocolate, mops, brooms, thick mattresses, air conditioning, paved roads, trash men that take the trash out of sight, police men that actually help when they see trouble...the list can go on and on!

At Seya, an orphan girl grabbed my hand and told me I was her Mama.

Seeing girls change from being afraid of being a girl to proud of being a girl.

While walking with the orphans of Seya, I started singing the song Eve and Rosette taught me and they started singing with me and clapping and we had a grand ol' time. :)

Seeing the smiles on children's faces as I wave to them.

Riding to Seya - the scenery is absolutely lovely.  Uganda really is the Pearl of Africa.

I have met amazing women who are widowed and they are so strong in keeping their family going and raising their kids.  They are the best.

I am constantly dirty, but no one cares because they are just as dirty!  We don't have to worry about what we look like here. :)

My team is awesome - we have the best conversations... ;)

Knowing that I am making a difference, even though sometimes I can't see the immediate effects of my work.
