 The nine year old girl staying at Shiloh who is soon to be adopted into an American family has been a very quiet child.  She rarely talks to us.  She talks a bit more to our Cameroonian team than to Papa Jim and Mama Alice.  We're pretty white, you know.  But then a couple of days ago Doris brought her three year old little girl to work with her and did things change!  Suddenly there was lots of laughter, chattering, giggling, whispering, and other girl kinds of things going on.  Turns out this child is able to talk non-stop.  And acts pretty much like any other child you might bump into anywhere in the world.  The girls have not minded that the one speaks more Sango than French.  They have not minded that they come from two different countries.  It bothers them not in the least that their cultures are quiet different.  They're just kids being kids.  Having fun.  Playing.  Amazing!
