Oh Kelli! They are all so beautiful! The boy who is second from the top reminds me so much of my Electric Lime who has graduated and moved on to middle school. Too cute!

Ah Kelli, and in your eyes I see each of these children’s faces. Just a book of the faces of africa you have captured would be a best seller. (Yes, I am still pushing the book idea.) Perhaps to earn money for your beloved Africa projects? I see one other thing in your eyes Kelli, HIS love.

I haven’t read any blogs in a couple weeks and am now attempting to catch up. I am so glad I stopped here first, those photographs are just beautiful. Those children have such spark in their eyes it’s wonderful! I just read through all the posts that I missed and you literally had me crying, laughing, and most importantly reflective of your thoughts. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Amazing pictures, Kelli. I love their expression in every single one of them. Their eyes show how much they’ve lived and experienced despite their young age. These children are really special. And you seem so happy there!

Gorgeous Kelli. Simply gorgeous.

I have those chubby cheeks too…my mom calls them “chipmunk cheeks” (I got them from her so she’s free to call them what she likes)

I love the one of the girl holding the baby in the sling. What is she, 8 years old? Wow. My nine year old doesn’t have the responsibility in her little pinky that that little girl has (and for that I am glad) but I wish I could explain to mine how amazing that child is.
