Krismasi Njema

Merry Christmas in Swahili. In 2015 I traveled to Tanzania to help in an orphanage for a week. The couple who directed the program moved on to create a new project of providing day care for families so they wouldn't have to place their children in orphanages for care while they went to work. I contribute a small amount to that project each month and this is the Maasai ornament she sent me as a thank you

I will be glad to provide more information for anyone interested.
OMG I love this...the ornament and the story!!

It is such a beautiful pop of color on the black background!

@summerfield It is truly an honor to be loved by someone such as yourself! This is for the tree but I felt it wouldn’t show as nicely as it does here.
