Here is my favorite shot of Shiemiuzel's older Sister, outside their simple home on the beach - just a simple shot of her playing in the sand.

I've posted about her Family here before, and even though there's really no room in the family budget for toys and such for the Children, they're ok with that and enjoy just playing outside in the sand, in the water, or playing with Mama's pots & pans.

Her Family's been very good & hospitable to me earlier this year, and since I'll be there over the Christmas Holidays, I'm going to make a small Xmas gift list of some things they need, as I just recieved an email this week from my friend Robert Lariosa in California, who is sending me a donation for Christmas necessities for the Family.

Robert was one of the original 4 donors last year before my 2005/2006 trip, and after finding my images on pBase.com, he contacted me by email and actually wired $100/USD while I was in Ste.Fe, which I used for Shiemiuzel's Family needs, plus one other Family in Manila I was trying to help at the end of that trip.

Thanks for reading today - and Robert, if you're also reading today...Many Thanks for your kindness & God Bless; you're the best!
...I told Shiemiuzel's Family all about you earlier this year, and they are very gratefull to you and your Family.
