Supporting National Pink Day 5 March 2008

Our office supported the Pink Ladies call to silently protest the plight of missing and abused children today.

I hope you all wore pink today too ;)

Round and round the garden...

... like a teddy bear,

one step, two step,

tickly under there!

We went to visit the Children's Home again today. This is Leanne playing with Steven.

He's looking fantastic compared to the last time we were there. It was a good day actually, because all the children looked healthy.

Christmas at the Children's Home

We held a Christmas Party at the Childrens home I wrote about a few weeks ago. I've written more about today here. It was great to see how excited the kids got, especially when they realised the presents contained new things with labels still attached. I can't possibly choose one photo from today, so here are a few of my favourites.

Monalisa... she's a very sick little 2 year old. I cannot begin to describe how small and petite she is (she wears size 3-6m clothes). It was so amazing to see her laugh and smile today.


Princess... hasn't she got the most regal looking face? Such a pretty child.
Pallessa - she's gorgeous, and so full of energy. I think the day was a bit daunting for her though, as she wasn't as smiley as she normally is. Prince... boy, he's talkative. He was chatting away about school.

Hannah's home

I'm a member of the social committee in our department at work. A few weeks ago, we started collecting food, kids clothes, toys and money for a children's charity, and we dropped off the things today at the home in Kelvin.
It was a very humbling experience, and I've written more about the home and the children on my journal here.
This is Hannah, who runs the home.

Steve, with the most gorgeous liquid brown eyes
Phakiso. Boy, she was a bundle of energy, which is why the photo is blurred.
