We as Americans always want to "fix" all the problems. The Africans are more about the relationships formed along the journey of progress....so the progress is slow but the relationships are sweet..Robin Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04538544287232000518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34376203.post-25202477299187230902008-07-14T10:12:00.000-07:002008-07-14T10:12:00.000-07:00Robin, It's great to see you back at work.

I really appreciate seeing working drawings and sketches of painters I admire. <BR/><BR/>My daughter recently spent 3 weeks in Tanzania working at an orphanage and school. She fell in love with the children and the country but was disheartened by the incredible problems they face.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to seeing more work.Bill Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511752815381069553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34376203.post-19904076448477616132008-07-10T08:59:00.000-07:002008-07-10T08:59:00.000-07:00Thank you Nancy!
