This blog is all about my journey living and working in Moshi, Tanzania. This process began before I moved to Moshi in July 2006 and continues as I have been living here six and a half years. I like to write blogs about the kids here at Treasures of Africa Children's Home and about life in Tanzania and the fun things about living in a different culture. The children have become a huge part of my life here. I have fallen in love with them and each day they bring something new and fun to life. God has truly blessed me.

Birthday Celebration



A few weeks ago we celebrated the birthdays of four of our babies who turned two years old and Anjela who turned four. It was a real fun day. Two cakes were baked and a crate of Fanta Orange soda was purchased. The babies were not too sure about the cake and the only Zoe really dug into the cake and enjoyed it. Moses was afraid to even taste the cake but he loved the touch of it. Diamond and Joan eventually had a little but not really very much. Anjela, who is always so sweet and adorable was fed a little cake and seemed to like it.
My favorite part of the day was after everyone had cake and soda and we were all just about to go outside to play together but we all stopped on the porch and all the workers and children prayed for those celebrating a birthday. It was such a special time. I love the way the kids pray for each other. It was so wonderful.
Then we went out to the field and played together for hours. The kids have a couple of kites we bring out on special occasions and I had some glider planes that I was holding on to for a special day. We also had a couple soccer balls and a plastic bat with a tennis ball. It was so much fun running around for hours just playing and playing.
I love days like this day…celebrating, playing, and enjoying the day all together!
