Happy Birthday to me!

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post to tell you how amazing my birthday has been - even though I'm not at home.

From 6:30 until 8 this morning, I received a steady stream of really sweet, thoughtful handmade cards and pictures from the kids, along with some photos of them, a banana and an alarm clock!

Some of them were sooo sweet that I have to admit I was subject to some tears. I just felt so loved and they were all so genuinely excited to come and shake my hand and wish me a happy birthday. Celia cried as well, as I think we both realised that we really are going to struggle to leave this place with our hearts in tact in a month's time!

I'm going for a meal in a moment with Freny and her family, and the other gappers, and then I think we're having a bit of a tea party this evening at DUF, as it is Buangpuii's birthday as well!

We are going on Bible camp for a week from tomorrow with some of the kids from the home, so when I get back I'll fill you in on some more!!
