This week I’ve used a photo taken by a young man
who was one of my daughter’s classmates.
He and his family are in Liberia
On their first trip (which partly was for the purpose of adoption)
they met an orphan who they fell in love with.
She was adopted by Rusty’s family and they named her Blessing.
This shot of her just makes me feel good all over;
an image of pure joy.
what is a Blessing?
one loved little girl doing
cartwheels in the sand
Rusty is the construction manager for the ELWA hospital in
Monrovia, Liberia. (ELWA = Eternal Love Winning Africa).
The work is being done through Samaritan’s Purse.
The project will take three years.

What a delightful picture! Your haiku does it credit. It's lovely to hear about people who "work" giving back to the world. Thanks for sharing!
Such a sweet photo and lovely Haiku! I've given to Samaritan's Purse many times over the years at Christmas for their shoebox gift donation. It's a fabulous charity! Happy HuMp Day Kim! :-)
Happy Hump Day Kim. Excellent Haiku for this photo and a wonderful photo it is. Thanks.:)
