How does a fifty four year old naive woman get up the nerve to travel to Kenya to volunteer at an orphanage? I have been asked this question alot and the answer is always the same. I had dreamed of visiting Africa and I have always believed that one person can make a difference--one person touching the life of one other person can rewrite the future for so many more.
