Our founder, Meg Styles, left on her journey to Uganda yesterday. Here's day 1's journal entry...
Janet Pinto, a faithful TGF friend and supporter, and I left SFO yesterday afternoon. After a long but easy flight, we have arrived safely in Amsterdam for an overnight layover. I took the opportunity to do one of my favorite things; walk for miles exploring a new city. Amsterdam is beautiful and exciting and I look forward to coming back one day and giving it the time it deserves. The streets are packed and Amsterdam's many cafés spill out onto every sidewalk. Evidence of the holiday season is everywhere. As you can see from the picture, the streets are littered with lights.
I made sure that this day included a visit to Anne Frank's home. It was a somber visit and a very powerful experience. No one should visit Amsterdam without visiting this place. Anne was a brave and beautiful girl. It is right that her memory lives on in this way.
We leave tomorrow for Uganda. Until then, good-bye!
Meg Styles
