A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song.

Greetings From Tengeru,
Just a quick e-mail today. Things here are wonderful. I washed my clothes last night in a bucket... what an interesting process that was!
The majority of my group is getting ready to head back to North America, so the feeling around CCS is a little gloomy, but I think we all know that we will keep in touch - and maybe even be part of future projects together??
A man came into my class today to measure for the desks. I wish I could have captured the girls' faces when they were told they would be given a personal desk and that they were a big part in making this happen through their sewing of the coffee bags. I truly believe that they felt empowered, and hope that this is a feeling that will continue to grow and expand within them for the rest of their precious lives.
Talk to everyone soon... and Adeeb, the wildlife photos are on their way... unfortunately no Cheetah!!

Annie, I heard someone say something last night on the television and it instantly reminded me of you. I don't remember exactly how it went but it went something like this: "The things we do for ourselves die with us, but the things we do for others are immortal." I am so proud to call you my friend. See you soon!
Erin
