This is precious little Linamandla (Lina for short). This little girl stole our hearts and changed our lives. We had the most amazing weekend with her and will never forget Lina. We could tell you so many amazing stories about her. We have been around a large number of children, but only a few really tug at your heart as if they could be your own. Lina is now gone from the orphanage, but we will never forget the times we spent with her and the light she brought to our lives.

Lina had so much fun coloring and doing things that "normal" kids get to do by just having fun. She was overwhelmed with the attention that she received, because she is normally 1 of 50 others that need attention as well. |

She is the happiest and most well behaved child you have ever seen. Light just shines out of her eyes. We love her dearly. |
