Here’s a pic of Jess amongst a crowd of kids organizing them as I shot. All I did was turn around from where I was shooting and snapped this photo.
At one time while I was taking the pictures I smelt sewage and wasn’t sure what was going on. Then I looked down and a couple of feet from where I was standing and raw sewage was in a small ravine. Remember that I was already sick while I was taking these photos. Then out of no where my eyes started burning and tears were just streaming out of my eyes and snot out of my nose. It got so bad that I couldn’t see and had to run back to my room and wipe my eyes and blow my nose.

This is the last post about Okinda Kids. The next and final post about Africa will be about the Safari we went on. And I guess I MIGHT put some pictures from that trip… would you like that?

Looking forward to the safari. Love seeing all the smiling happy faces of the orphans that you are sharing. May God shine down upon them and bring them much happiness.
hey jim! I was looking at some of your pictures from your trip to Africa on flickr and was wondering what you would think about me using some of them as references for some paintings I would like to do?
