A Tribute To Teva
A tribute to TEVA
Thank you to Teva for all of the many donations. Before I left Teva sent me a large box containing a ton of items: beachballs, watches, belts, hats, sunglasses, etc. The giant smile that spreads across a kid*s face when I stop them to say, J*ai un cadeau pour tu, (I have a present for you), is absolutely priceless. I always wish that I could stick around to see the kid put on the hat or sunglasses but it is quite dangerous as others see they run to beg or pull at you.
The small boy with the beachball is my host brother who is 6 and literally plays with the ball every single day. I gave out a few other beachballs to the kids on my street and now everytime I walk by the kids shout at me, un balloon, un balloon.
The group of young adults is my summer school class on our last day. I brought them hats and sunglasses and they were all very thankful.
I am saving the watches for my soccer team that I will begin coaching in one week. Everything donated is greatly appreciated here. It is amazing how much joy a simple beachball brings to a child*s life here. Again, thank you so much for all of the donations; the contents of that one box has made the world of difference to some of the people here in Senegal.
