... something else i took with me from tanzania...

i don't think i wrote about this before, but i have now 2 sponsored children with compassion... well, actually 1 and a half, because one i sponsor together with my sister...

but this last one i got, is one of the children i got to meet when i was over there... and it's awesome to meet a child, and then decide to become his sponsor...

his name is joseph... and he is 6, turning 7 in june... and i know you must be dying to see a picture of this creature... so there it is...

now you tell me... how can you not fall in love with this creature?!?! he's the one i am holding... the other kid was just there... and the person who took the picture probably didn't know how to zoom...

anyways... he's an acrobat too... check this out...

i know, the picture is not very sharp... sorry, i suck... but you can tell what he's doing...

a tip... make a difference in someone's life... sponsor a child today (http://www.compassion.com/; http://www.compassion.it/)

back from tanzania...

... in love with africa more than ever... if possible...
their eyes, their smiles, their skin... them, just them... african people, in their simplicity, have captured my heart once again... i wish i stayed there... i wish i didn't have to leave, i wish all it takes is a packed bag and a plane ticket, one way...
maybe that's all it takes, after all... learing to live the way they do probably takes much effort, but surely it does not require resources of any kind... just a willing heart...

i have a heavy heart today... and it's not just because i've just come back from this trip... it's heavy because it's lonely... i thought, after a long time, maybe this loneliness found an end... but it's sadly not so... i wish i could say that i don't care, but i can't, 'cause i care...
