i heard about it through Mida, the travel agent that alot of people talk about here, I used her quite a bit last year.
We took a suitcase full of stuff, not knowing the ages or anything like that and once we got there, were greeted by these tiny little three year olds up to seven or eight I think. I just bawled (had to leave the room actually), imagine having to give your child up, for whatever reason...dont like to think about it actually.
Anyway, Ive never been back, because the lady, Elizabeth I think her name was, started emailing me asking me to sponsor this child then that child, and I was really stressed out because it wasnt something I wanted to do at the time...anyway Im glad that you have been introduced to it and are going back again. I would love to know what happened with the two youngest there, I think one was David and cant remember the other name.
Good on you love!!
