Sunday August 9, 2009It is hard to believe that I will be leaving for Kenya on Tuesday. This last month has been a whirlwind. I have many people to thank - those of you who attended the fundraising boat cruise July 24, those that donated clothing/supplies, and those that generously donated money - I am eternally grateful and cannot thank you enough! I am so appreciative of your support and I can assure you that the donations will be a pleasant surprise to the families and children for whom they will benefit.
(Above: a portion of the clothing donations received that I will be taking with me to Kenya)
Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting stories and pictures of my experiences and travels in Nairobi, Kisumu, and Nakuru. I hope that you will be able to enjoy my trials, tribulations, exciting adventures, and the life lessons of my journey through this blog.
I am very excited, anxious, and nervous for Tuesday to come. Thank-you to all who have been supportive and for those that encouraged me to take this leap of faith to accomplish an enormous life goal. I will miss your company on my journey but I know you will all be there in spirit.
With love,
Kristy Todd
