Throughout the summer and autumn months of 2014, Andrea and I diligently collected children’s clothing and over fifty pairs of children’s shoes from more generous young supporters, who so selflessly departed with some of their treasured and loved items. Zonya travelled to Ifakara to deliver these, and 100 mosquito bed nets to families in need.
