A Chapter Is Ending

A chapter is ending for Celina - and WHAT a chapter it's been  --

more than two years with the children and teachers at Rising Star Outreach school for children from leprosy-affected families in India.  She gave them her whole heart and energy, and all her considerable talents and determination. In return, they embraced her.  As she wrote on her blog, "These people own next to nothing, yet they give me everything."

Way to go, Celina Ma'am.  You have changed these children's lives forever.



I was so fortunate to visit Celina at Rising Star for her birthday.  This photo taken on her birthday. She was inundated with love and little homemade presents and cards.

I absolutely loved my time there.

We took a day off and went to Ideal Beach
