Yes, it was 1 year ago that Fred and I said our "I dos" in front of families and friends.
So how did we spend our Paper Anniversary? We joined Janet, Teresa, Christine and Mervyn to visit and donate some goodies to the San Damiano Home in Kiulu. Teresa's mum, and her friend Vicky also came along.
The home was set up to take in children from poor families and from the rural areas so that these children can attend secondary schools. We were informed by the nuns there that if they did not taken these children in, then there's no way that they could go to secondary schools because they lived too far from the schools (like 7 hours by foot). The home depend on donations from individuals and NGOs as they are not getting government funds to help them run the Home.
Here are some pictures of our visit to share with you:

The kids shook hands with us as we were about to leave. Fred and Teresa's mum were so tired they had to sit down!
Before leaving, Christine took time to admire the sunflowers.
I love this picture of Christine taking pictures of the sunflowers.
