Brigette started her long 24 hour journey back home while we were sleeping last night.

7 months of fundraising, prepping, packing and planning and at 12:35am on Thursday July 20, 2017, Brigette left for Tanzania.

People are shocked that we didn’t hesitate one second when she asked us to go on this… Continue reading The Hardest Part Of Parenting Is Letting Them Go
