Joy

I don’t think I can express to you adequately what it was like watching the women pick out clothes and scrubs from the donations I was able to bring – I will try and do my best. One day (I think the third day I was in country) Senaidt and Bellatu came over for a visit. I brought out my huge army duffle bag and dumped it out on my sofa. Their face lit up and their eyes started to twinkle while they took in the pile of clothes. We went through all the clothes and gave each nanny two or three things. They of course were able to try clothes on and pick out what they liked. Then we went through the scrubs and picked out the scrubs for each nanny too. They were so thankful for everyone who donated the clothes for them. They kept saying, “thank you, thank you, thank you,” and “God bless you.” It brought me such joy as well as all the nannies joy. When I saw all the other nannies I asked them how their clothes fit and oh my gosh they had such big smiles. They talked a mile a minute describing everything they got. So on behalf of the nannies – thank you to everyone who donated clothes and money.
