Dear Emma
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your exciting, uplifting and inspiring experiences. It is amazing to read about all of your incredible adventures, and to see what an enormous difference you are making. If there is anything that your community would appreciate being sent over .. things for the children etc, would it be feasible for us to do something like that from YGC. Just a thought ???
Take care and keep safe

Today in a quiet moment I was thinking about you both and wondering how you were getting on in Zambia - the photos tell me what I needed to know about your life out there - thank you for sharing this special time in your lives - wish I could find a way out there I'm touched .... Miss you both. Lots of love. Annie xxxx
