Day 036

Once the salsa was done being made (cooking class put on by Sarah), I was grabbing a shot of it finished. The kids near by very literally started dancing spontaneously.

Day 035

This is Peter. He...is awesome. He is one of the volunteers at the Bodondo Clinic

Day 033

I wish I had some narrative for this. I don't. Not right now at least.

Valentine's Dolls

Here is another little "Heart Beat" doll. Just listed on my Etsy shop. I have a new hairdo for this doll. I used a beautiful wool angelina blend that I just purchased. I love working with it!
Her face is embroidered and she has a beaded dress. She holds the key to your heart as well as some flowers. Flowers and hearts are used for her little shoes. Enjoy!

Day 032

This is Ruth, one of the girls living at the orphanage where DIG has helped develop a garden. Said orphanage is called St. Paul & Rose after the husband/wife team who run it and who have four kids of their own mixed in with the family—which is how they really live...as a family. All told 26 people sleep in their tiny little place, at least during the school year, all of whom are given year round farming education by Paul. He was telling me about how you can be educated fully in Uganda and still not ever find a job, so to that end he teaches all the kids things like agriculture, cooking, and crafts/handiwork so that they will always at least be able to take care of themselves and their families. Pretty freaking smart.

Ruth is striking.
