It means so much to my sister and I. You have truly inspired me and I am honored. Thank you for all your kind words and support. It's people like you who keep us going! God bless you!<br /><br />Dear Val, thank you for all your help and encouragement over the past year!<br /><br />It is our hope that because of this school the children in Turalei will have a prosperous future full of peace and happiness.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Mallory O'MalleyMallorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3366315366123515090.post-81606900081719748212009-05-17T01:01:00.000-04:002009-05-17T01:01:00.000-04:00So I've been missing for a while, but I'm resurfac...So I've been missing for a while, but I'm resurfacing.<br /><br />So for this post: Weird. I was just sitting in my son's room after changing his diaper and thinking about a whole bunch of randomly sad things like child prostitution and genocide wars and thinking how I could just sit and be sad forever if I really focused on it, but then I stopped and realized that I needed to focus on my family. So I find that a weird coincidence.<br /><br />As for your politico post on liberal/conservative. I too find myself on different sides of the aisle, depending on the issue, and I find that people who are super left really just want everyone to be happy, which is a nice theory, and so do I, but things just don't work that way. Someone has to pay the bills.<br /><br />Anyhow, how are things with your move to Georgia and such???<br /><br />Catch ya later!little jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834593205670936305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3366315366123515090.post-8152405966315312372009-05-17T00:33:00.000-04:002009-05-17T00:33:00.000-04:00Wow.

Positivity through the grace of others has empowered their spirits. You are the True Hero, for like Mallory and Meredith, you love the children you do not know. Val, you and all the leaders at the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy, have been the blessing that has sparked their inspiration. Natalie, thank you for the post. <br /><br />I can brightly see Christ in all of you. <br /><br />With sincere gratitude,<br />Mallory and Meredith's MomKerri O'Malleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3366315366123515090.post-36292516857877922712009-05-16T20:01:00.000-04:002009-05-16T20:01:00.000-04:00There are so many great kids out there.

HA! What two girls started, an entire school and community finished. <br /><br />This was no small undertaking for two "kids" in a big world. I wholeheartingly believe that these girls learned more than a lesson on charity & giving. They also learned any goal is within reach when you seek the help of God. <br /><br />I read how these girls prayed daily for inspiration on fundraising ideas. Prayer. It really does make a difference.<br /><br />I loved Laretha's comment, "YEAH GOD!" It is truly refreshing to see people all over the world give Him praises & thanks from this great work.Have a blessed day!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17896795458035715673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3366315366123515090.post-4567406309017183282009-05-15T23:30:00.000-04:002009-05-15T23:30:00.000-04:00I love this story!

I'm drawn to learning more about this, particularly because my daughter attends Catholic school with twin Sudanese girls. One is in my daughter's classroom and she sat with us last weekend at mass. It's been difficult to learn much about these girls because there is a communication gap with the parents. I haven't been able to figure out how much, if any, English they speak. <br />We also have a Sudanese priest at our parish, whom the twin identified as her uncle. I'm not sure if there truly is a biological connection, but I'm glad they are able to support each other.<br />I'll read more later. Thanks. :)Mommy (You can call me OM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07330090628350118582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3366315366123515090.post-48552497169212151352009-05-14T23:08:00.000-04:002009-05-14T23:08:00.000-04:00Wow, how incredibly inspiring, it too makes me wan...Wow, how incredibly inspiring, it too makes me want to make a difference.
