Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you all know that I made it back to Uganda safely! It feels really good to be back, although I haven't made it all the way back to Jinja and the kids at Amani. Rachel and I are house/babysitting for our friend, Annie, who is the director of Watoto Babies Home in Kampala. There is a Watoto Conference in London and so we are taking care of her three girls and will be spending a good part of our days at Watoto helping with all the little babies there. Right now they have 83 babies and 75% of them are under the ago of 1!!! Needless to say, there is lots to do!
Although it's good to be back, I had such a fun time helping fly Melody and Joey home and staying with them for the past week. We've gotten to see lots of kids go home to adoptive families over the past 6 months and it was such a neat experience to get to see that side of it. It was so great to really get to know their family and be there for their first days in "The America". Their family is absolutely wonderful and, despite some issues with sharing (what family of 3 toddlers DOESN'T have issues with sharing??!!!) and overcoming a fear of the cats, everyone is adjusting really well.

Arielle, The kids wanted to say Hi.....Melody wanted to call you yesterday but when we called it would not go through. The kids are doing better and better each day! Mia and Joey were sooo close to the cat yesterday and did so good!

Missing you lots back here in the America! (how cute is that??!)
Hi there, my name is Lydia. I'm 20 and from Ireland. I'm going to be volunteering in Canaan Childrens home for 5weeks this summer. Could you tell me a little bit about your experience of Canaan as I'd love to have some info from people who are out there at the moment. Thank you so much, Lydia Behan (lydiabehan1@yahoo.co.uk)
