She is finally smiling!!!

In October 2003 I got another annual report - plus two new pictures of Wilma.

And my dream came true:

she is finally smiling!!!

Can't get enough of this picture!!!

Even Mama is smiling!

The second picture touched me just as much!!! Wilma and her mother standing there, both smiling at me!

How I wish I could be right there with them!

Health Project 2003

A Health Community Volunteer is shown here making activities of weight and height control in children, in order to control the growth and development!

Apparently the child does not really like it - but it definitely is a vital thing to do!!!

    Wonderful page about such an interesting country - and it is so admirable that you decided to foster Wilma. I still have to picture the jacuzzi in the room in Bolivia though :-) what a touch of class!

    Bolivia is a place I have to see yet. Therefore 'muchas gracias' for presenting this country here on VT. Especially liked your fine local customs tips! Your travelogues were good too. AND: I was visitor #3000!
