Message from Jennifer C.

The following message is from Jason C. Thank you, Jason for sending this on...

I hate depending on technology, don't you? Jennifer said the internet was down yesterday. That's why nothing came through.

*The team is finished working and Jenn said she is SORE!*As mentioned, the team planted trees. Jenn was with a young boy who will care for the tree and make sure it is safe so she can come back and see it.

*She said the massai custom is to give a gift to say goodbye. She now has 2 necklaces and 3 bracelets which she will probably never take off. The little boy that she planted her tree with said that when she returns next year he will have a bracelet for her first born child.

*She had a translator help her say goodbye to Bakita (her new massai friend). I think it was a really emotional farewell. " I made a really ugly cry face!" says Jenn.

*A positive note "Our work is done and tomorrow is safari day!" "I can't wait!" she said. I remember when we were riding a mock safari ride at Disney in June and I made the comment about how cool it would be to be on a real one. What an awesome way to lock in all of the experiences of the week.

*Sounds like everyone is healthy and a lot of good work and great bonds have been made. If the purpose was to deliver hope...their job is done.
