My friends and I in TJ

This was our group, Crystal, Dave, Jo, Joanna and I. We had lots of fun and look at all of the pics we have to help us remember our trip. See guys, aren't you glad I drove you all crazy with my camera? Crystal was the one who got us excited about helping out at the Orphanage, the Purple Palace. It is a safe haven for kids who have had a really rough life ("really rough" is putting it lightly, most of these kids were rescued out of very abusive situations). The kids range in age from 1 month to 18 years old. Currently there are about 70 children and teens living at the Purple Palace, but they will be able to provide shelter and love for up to 120 kids.

Also, we have a few pics in here of Crystal's nieces, Summer and Jordan and her nephew, Kraylor (C or K? for Craylor? Kraylor?). Sorry Crystal, you will have to let me know which spelling is correct?

The Purple Palace will be having their big grand opening on May 12th, 2007. Hope to see you there, I will be the one with the camera. ☺

Just in case you don't know who we are, Crystal is in the yellow shirt with blond hair and pony tail. Joanna is also in yellow, but has brown hair, with a pony tail too. Jo is in the brown tee (sometimes the gray sweater), Summer is in pink, Jordan is in the white tee and has a little paint on her face, since she has been hard at work. Dave is in the black, and I, Nansea, am in blue.
