This video is dedicated to friends who entrusted me with donations and to all of our loved ones who were with us in spirit during these precious moments. The children sang a welcome song, read a beautiful message, we shared a prayer and I sang them (in Lingala) my peace lullaby*. (I'll add translations soon.) p.s. Special thanks to Tom and Yvette for introducing me to them. xo

A work friend translated the song the kids sang and the message they read for us at the orphanage. It brings me right back.

The welcome song:
Je vous souhaite la bienvenue
Chez nous soyez chez vous
Nous vous accuillons en famille
Nous vous accueillons tra la la
parmi nous

I welcome you
In our place, act as if it's yours
We welcome you as a family
We welcome you
among us
