When we were planning this trip our advisors asked us to bring gifts for the families that would be cooking us lunch daily! While preparing my things I did pick a few things from home like dish towels, children books and a few other things. While visiting my family the first few days I observed there was nothing on the walls except a picture of their oldest son Makayso when he was about 5 and presently he is 8 or 9. While thinking of a perfect gift Ebone and I thought it would be great if we took a family photo and gave it to them. Well we were able to get a picture of each of the children, the mom and middle children which was a student of the Montessori school and a picture of Ebone and I. The gift was a total hit. The family treated the pictures as it we gave them a million dollars in a sweepstakes. The mothers eyes became watery and the children were so excited and fascinated. This was one of the greatest moments I have ever felt to give back to someone. I felts so appreciated.
