Dear Tony, George, & Cornell,

Thanks for caring enough about the people of Swaziland to join Phil & our team there - you made a difference. Statistics that just came out yesterday confirm that if we don't do something, the nation will cease to exist. I've come to love the orphans there - thank you for caring for them
too.

Please don't forget Swaziland - as you said, Tony, "Help is needed, we can't let Swaziland disappear."

While we were in Swazi, some
NFL players came to visit!

One of the players was Anthony Hargrove of the New Orleans Saints, who had just won the Superbowl only days before.  Talk about a crazy cultural shift - from crowds who can't get enough of you, to masses of kids who are afraid of you!  The first glimpse I got of these guys made me burst out in laughter; they were just so gigantic standing next to my Swazi babies!  Each NFL player I met was so down-to-earth, and willing to humble himself by fumbling through the Swazi cultural songs and dances.  One of my favorite memories in Swazi was doing the hokie-pokie and the harlem shake with the players and the kids.  So much fun!

A video was recently posted on the NFL website about their trip to Swaziland.  The little girl whose face
the camera centers on at the end is Ellie, who was abandoned as a premie at the local hospital but was adopted by Julie, a missionary who has taught the gogos (grandmas) to make purses.
