The Last

Its hard to believe that our time here is up. It has really flown by and it is extremely bittersweet as we begin the preparation to return home. I’m not sure either one of us will realize for quite some time what this really has meant in our lives and for our future. Coming to Africa, we both had thought we knew a little of what to expect. Not only did this trip far exceed any and all wishes we shared, it completely blew them out of the water. We had the opportunity to meet some of the most generous, honest and loving people we have ever come into contact with and truly it was our pleasure to be here. The people of Bagamoyo and this program have given us more than we will ever be able to return. We have so many memories and stories to share with all of you as we return home, but our single greatest wish is that more people could and would make this journey. We promise it will change your life! Thanks for sharing in this adventure and mark my word this will not be the last of the sisters on safari.
