Some of the kids
The kids here are cool, some beside me are looking at big vans, or semis, or whatever. Most just look at us and giggle, whisper to each other and act like shy kids. others want to prove their english and say hi, how are you, where do you live? Some want to play futbol, or show you how good they are at counter-strike.
One girl asked us through a translator if there were any hungry children in Canada, we told her that yes, there were. She said that she would like to give us some money to give to them so that they could buy food. We were quiet in our shame, and the English teacher told her that she didn't have any Canadian money. She was quiet and someone changed the subject. I think I asked her what her favourite vegtable was. I forget what she said.

We just talked to grandma, she's dissapointed she can't see your blog....Lesley said she would print your updates and mail them to her.
She told me to say hello to you.
Hope all's well

Reading an entry like this painfully makes me want to be there with you and help them, in some way - any way. Thanks for this quiet reminder of relativity.

Hello, lovie
It's Mother's Day here, and I am thinking of you. Do the bosnians do anything for Mother's Day? I know that in england it's celebrated at another time. That little girl has a lovely heart. She's the type to do Intercordia when she's older;) Is disko the Bosnia way to spell (like centar?) Would have loved to see you "boogie". Next time, take your camera!
Much love from your Mum

That little girl maybe poor by our standards of living, but she's rich is so many ways! What a caring little soul:)
I've printed off your Blog up to May 16th and will send it to Aunt Norma for you. Glad you're dancin' and prancin'.
Tack Care, Linda
