African Orphanage

As a person who has always had a dream of being a good "mommy" like mine was always to me, I have a HUGE weakness for children. A few weeks ago while I was at church, I heard them speak about missionaries....something I have always wanted to do. I couldn't wait to get more information! As I started to research all the different trips they were taking, I read one that caught my eyes....It was a mission to South Africa to help with an orphange! Seriously? How amazing and perfect for me. The more I found out the more my heart became involved. Apparently there is also a woman over there who has taken on 8 orphans and lives in an 8X8 room. Part of our mission will be to help bulid onto her "home" and make it a better suited place for these children. Just knowing I could go there and make a difference in their life puts a fire in my body that makes me want to do anything I can to go and help. Hands on. That to me is one of the most amazing things a human being can do for another. To stop one's daily routine, and go to unfamiliar territory and help without any selfish alteriors. It's so beautiful.
I have to come up with funds to go to Africa and for the materials we will be bringing to help out. I started thinking of ways to raise money for this, and of course doing inexpensive photoshoots came to mind! i contacted a few photographers to donate their time and most of them surprisingly said yes!!! I can't begin to express the feeling of gratitude I have. Everything has been coming together so nicely that it makes me cry tears of happiness. I don't know how to express the feeling and desire I have to go and help. It's something that I KNOW God put in my path and wants me to do! I want to thank everyone who is involved in this fundraiser, and if you are interested in doing a photoshoot please contact me. Also if you want to donate ANY amount it would be greatly appreciated. I know $2 is not much but if everyone donated $2 It would probably bring a lot of supplies to the children at the Child Haven. Thank you guys so much for taking the time to read my most important blog written to date. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
