“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”
So far, through the sale of the Armadillo Limited Edition Prints, we have raised $5,326.92 for the Gogos, the orphans and Possible Dreams International - Dr. Maithri's Swaziland Project. Thank you, thank you from the very heart of me. To every single one of you who have reached out with such caring generosity from all over the globe to help build that bridge, I say ngiyabonga. You are all, every one of you, wonderful beyond words. Seriously. xxxx Tessa
Marguerite K, you are truly an earth angel. Time and again you have reached out and touched the hearts of the people of this little nation. Bless you. September 2010: Yet again this amazing lady has helped our Gogos and much of the accolade must to go to her for the fact that we have now reached the $5,000 mark...and still growing! Special grateful hugs to you Marguerite - thank you for your gentle grace.
Many thanks, too, to Caroline (Caroline's Studio) for her contribution to PDI. Dr. M and the Gogos join me in saying a very sincere siyabonga.

I just left her a message wishing him a happy birthday. And that picture! It is lovely! It brings back memories of my childhood. There was a Russian (Soviet at the time) cartoon that they used to show on Cuban telly a lot and it was about a boy who falls for an elephant in a nearby Zoo. He wants to take the elephant home but for obvious reasons he cannot. He lives in a flat with his mum and dad. As soon as the harsh Russian winter arrives the zoo administration decide to move the elephant to another place. The child frees the elephant and together they escape the city. It is a beautiful and magical cartoon. Many thanks for such a beautiful image.
Greetings from London.
Ahhh... and before I forget: Maya Angelou, need I say more? No, :-).

Hi Tessa, I am loving your sweet elephant! What a great b-day gift, too :)
You might enjoy my friend Jennifer's "elephant fetish", which she just posted on her blog reminders2bepresent, too!
You're a sweetheart, Tessa, you have all sorts of kindness in your heart and soul. How did you get that way?
That is just such a joyful picture! What a very kind sentiment as well.
That Maya Angelou quote is precious, but the painting is a gem. What a lovely thought, what a deep, touching gift Tessa. Your generosity never ceases to astound me.
PS: no news in the mailbox... :(
aaawww renee must've been so thrilled with this.

thank you for sharing.
Tessa, I love that painting. I want to ask your permission (I've asked Renee, also) to use your links and picture along with Renee's post about Swaziland. I'd like to include the entire article on my blog. The more people read about this tragedy, hopefully the more help we can get. June
