Grace & Happiness: Wishing to Meet Us Someday

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Tammy Tibbetts

Grace and Happiness in Tanzania this June

Grace and Happiness write to us shortly after their American visitors left Arusha, Tanzania, where they saw the Kisa Project in action [here are photos]. AfricAid is planning the trip again in 2012…maybe some of us will be able to go! In the meantime, Grace & Happiness are very loving, but seem a little shy in their letters –what stories do you want them to tell you about their lives? Ask them questions in the comments!

Grace writes:

Thanks for the concern [Grace was ill a few months ago], am doing well now. Am so happy to receive your book plus being visited by Ashely and her family…also there were many speakers from USA who inspired us…I wish that one day you will come…hope you had a nice concert
I wish you marvelous time
lots of love,says Grace

Happiness writes:

    Hello Grace and Happiness,
    So glad to hear you are both feeling better and that you enjoyed your time with your American visitors. We can all learn so much from each other. I would love to visit your country someday, as different as I imagine it to be, I am sure there are many similarites. The Girls Who Rock Concert was AMAZING – I know you would have loved being there, and maybe one day you will. I hope you enjoyed your 2 week holiday – we always need a break from our every day lives so that we can come back even stronger. So what careers are you hoping to embark on when you finish school? What do girls your age do for fun on weekends and holidays in your country? Keep doing great in school and we hope to hear from you soon!
