Since Maya was born we are more aware than ever of how fortunate we are and Maya has received so many gifts from you all already.  For those who want to give a gift on the occasion of her baptism we would like to ask you to make a donation to our chosen charity, The Kilimatinde Trust, instead. 

Joanne worked for the Trust in the village of Kilimatinde, Tanzania in 1999-2000 and fell in love with the people and the country (ok, and the continent ;o) ).The Trust provides much needed financial support and technical assistance to the local maternity hospital, secondary school (where Joanne worked), primary school and kindergarten. Joanne has seen at first hand the real impact this support has had on the lives of the villagers, particularly the children and young people. 

With your support, Maya's baptism will help these wonderful children and help us to teach her to always think of others.

Now for the official blurb....
