Jamie:

The first little girl in our orphanage. Just rescued from the streets.

Being held by me last Friday evening.

We had so much fun playing together.

Her very loving family plus one who wants to be adopted as a grandfather. Her sister Jordan is being held by her mother. Father is almost hidden by Jordan.

DID YOU KNOW?

• That there are pygmies in the the Democratic Republic of the Congo? In fact one was brought to the Bronx Zoo in 1904 where he was placed in the monkey house and helped to attract 40,000 visitors a day.
• The DRC is a vast country the size of Western Europe the home of 60,000,000 people.
• It is geologically rich and was know for its large reserves of cobalt, copper and diamonds.
• The uranium which was used to make the atomic bombs which broke the back of Japan in WWII came from the province of Katanga in the Congo.
• Lubumbashi is the largest city in the Province of Katanga and is the home of the airport where I will land. The airport was under siege by rebels in February of this year. It took the Army several hours and many bullets to quell the riot.
