My surprise visitors!

This blog is too hard to write just now so I figured if I just sent a lot of pictures that might please all my wonderful supporters until I can find the words to describe how to put into words my first few days here at GSF Orphanage. I arrived on Friday evening after a surprise visit in the morning as I was getting ready to leave Kampala. Thank you Eric & Helen for calling by and seeing me even though you had just got off a night flight!!

I spent the day travelling and arrived at GSF to the most amazing welcome - all the children and staff had gathered at the gate to welcome me to GSF. There was singing, dancing, clapping, drumming and lots and lots of welcomes and handshakes. It was so amazing and a little overwhelming that they would do that for me!! I have spent the weekend settling into my new home and trying to learn hundreds of names!! Once I have settled a little I will post more stories of what I have been getting up to but for now please enjoy the pictures of my new home!!! At the moment my senses are just totally overwhelmed!

The children decorated all the windows of the house I am sharing!

The children left these on my bed :)
