Today is almost over---remember we are 7 hours ahead of everyone in the midwest. Today we met with Nigerian Rotarians to discuss funding and projects they need assistance with. Then after our meeting and lunch we went out to many of the surrounding villages to see how great the need is. Wow! What an eye opening experience! These people in the little villages are so poor. However something I witnesses was their happiness and joy. Even though they have very little material items they are so joyful! I need to remember this when complaining about something so small.
The greatest joy we had today was playing and visiting with the children. They just melt my heart. I asked to hold one of the small children and the mother agreed. However when I went to motion for her to come to me her mouth dropped open and she was in aw! I assumed she had never seen a white woman. :)
We are on our way to dinner so I will try write more later. I wish I could post pictures but since I'm blogging from my phone it makes it very hard. Check out my facebook page as well---i have been able to uplaod some pics!
