Heart It's been a while!!!

Hi everyone!! It's been a while since I've visited these boards!! It's great to see some familiar posters and lots of new ones!!!

We have been home for almost a year with Fasika-- she is just AMAZING!! We are returning to Africa in November on a humanitarian aid mission and have started fundraising. Please visit our shop at vyz123 on Etsy - 1/2 my Heart is in Africa to view our Ethiopia/adoption items!! 100% of all sales will go directly to our mission! Thank you =)

I wish you all well!!

Valerie

No doubt you already know this, that Fasika means Easter in Amharic! We learned this when we happened to travel to Addis over Fasika weekend (this year, the weekend after our Easter). It's a very pretty name!

What is your humanitarian mission going to be?
