My dear friends, family, neighbors, and fellow grassroots supporters,
You have all been so wonderful and supportive of my volunteer efforts! I wanted to send out a heartfelt and sincere note of gratitude before leaving for my journey to Kenya tomorrow.
THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!
Between the "change drive," the yard sales, the raffle, my grant from my church, and some additional generous donations...I have managed to raise nearly $3000!!! I came extremely close to my goal and I can assure you...there are going to be some happy Kenyan kids next week!
I have already sent out a large box of books to the orphanage and I am bringing an entire suitcase full of school supplies, toys, and books that are going to be SO much fun as well as extremely helpful for their small library and school. I can't WAIT to share my stories and photographs with all of you, my kind and dear friends.
This day has been such a long time coming and I can't believe that I am actually really leaving tomorrow! Please take care and I promise to be in touch as soon as possible.
C...if you are reading this, my partner in crime, or my partner in "do-gooding" (if that is a word)...I will see you in two weeks. The kids and I will be anxiously waiting for you! We'll try to make you some welcome (Karibu) cards!
Big hugs to all, Taryn ("T")
