Birthdays in Tarime

Two Angel House kids have celebrated birthdays this month, and I have taken them to celebrate at Goldland, a local hotel/restaurant. It is good to have time to talk one-on-one, since usually we are surrounding by so many others.
We order chips (fries) and Cokes and get to know each other better. I am so thankful to to have a chance to talk with these kids and assure them that life in The States is not perfect either. They all seem to have the dream of going to America, where all of their problems will be solved. I tell them it's very difficult to get a Visa to leave Africa.
The Tanzanian government routinely denies Visas for its citizens. We even have a staff member who is married to an American and speaks very good English who has been denied 3 times!
I pray each child at Angel House will be able to pursue his/her goals. I also pray that children around the world will be able live in peace and innocence.
