Modjadji, South Africa

When John and I decided we were going to visit the village we wanted to bring gifts for some of the kids for Christmas.  Many of these children had never received a Christmas gift before, and we wanted to brighten their holidays up a little bit.  Thus, we asked friends and family from America to send little trinkets that we could make into bags to pass out.  Thanks to Nicole Sherman, Pam Beck, Jen Travis, Peggy Koontz, Tricia Burkholder, Joni Chudomelka, and Andy Chudomelka we were able to make 60 goody bags.  We passed 30 of these out in Rasewana (the village where the Monyela’s live) and 30 in Madumeleng (the village where the Ramokhola’s live).  The kids were insanely excited, and we were happy to see all their wonderful smiles.

I’ll leave you with some pictures and wish you all a very, very Merry Christmas from South Africa.

That is a truly wonderful thing you have done for those children! Bravo!

Transkei Waterfall, South Africa

My version of Christmas is going to the most remote place I can find. The photo was taken from a kayak, in the Mtentu River about 2 kilometers upstream from the river mouth, (Indian Ocean), South Africa. Spectacular place.

Gorgeous there!

Good idea and very nice and colorful shot!

Torquay, Australia

JohnnyGoogle writes, “Just a typical sunny day in December down at Torquay. To be fair, it was probably hotter than normal but the fine sand, bright sunshine and clear blue sky is no less than we would expect over the Xmas period.

So many people enjoying the weather there!  Very beautiful shot!
