A message to friends of CHABHA

Three of us will be traveling to Africa, leaving May 2, one returning on May 17 and two on May 24. We are Susanna Grannis, Jane Davis, and Belinda Whipple Worth, all members of CHABHA's Board of Directors. In South Africa, we will be going to a project east of johannesburg not a part of the list you read on the website, but an interesting one that helps children of illegal immigrants who have been orphaned or otherwise made vulnerable. An Anglican church is working to help the children. We will also visit Ingwavuma Orphan Care out in the east. On May 8 we will fly to Kigali and spend the rest of the time working with the project leaders there. We will have bags of knitted dolls for the children. Many hundreds we think.
Periodically we will post words of our travels and invite you to respond.
Thanks, Susanna
