  1. Dear Mandaly,

    It looks like the trip was fully worthwhile seeing the faces of these lovely children. I was touched by your gratitude and thank you for the work you did in helping our people. I am looking forward to listening to the CD. You are truly an amazing person and I am proud to be your friend. Betty
    P.S. I have a small jar of change and dollar bills on my desk. Consider it for your cause.
