News from the Ilula Orphan Project
Berit had a very busy schedule while she was home during January and February. Edson enjoyed seeing our country and meeting the people. He stated that, “Volunteerism is REAL in the USA.” He was touched by those who used their resources to help people they don’t even know. We would like to thank Ron and Ann Frette for hosting Edson during his stay in America. Edson plans to take better care of his people after he returns to Tanzania.
