By Laurie Jo Miller FarrIs bigger better in fashion these

days? After decades of expensive, slimmed down thinner-than-a-dime models, watchmakers are respond-ing to a demand for the wide screen look on the forearm of both men and women. Stilettos and have moved from bordello to runway to main-stream and turning a normal sidewalk or the dance floor into a treacherous danger zone.

Bucking the trendShoppers are bucking the trend on

their appetites for girth when it comes to the wristwatch. While slimming down on consumption of everything from super-sized meals to Humvees to carbon footprints, the opposite applies to watches and the ladies’ Jimmy Choos.

Tank-like timepiecesTom Cruise sported his titanium

tank-like timepiece as early as 2008. Only 29 of the U-1942 limited edition were built by Italo Fontana, retailing at $40,000 each. This re-creation of a World War II Italian military diver

piece measures 64.4mm wide and 18mm thick. Leaders in the watch industry refer to the monster-sized trend as “wrist presence”, according to the New York Times. Victorinox Alliance weighs in at 40mm retailing for $495. Swatch gets into the game, seeing unisex bestseller demand for big cases from 45mm starting at $70.

Runway riskThe sky’s the limit. The extreme

high heel is coming in at an aston-ishing nearly seven inches. The new news is that bloggers say Christian Louboutin’s 2013 collection is not featuring as many platforms, mak-ing the pitch from heel to toe even steeper. Heels appear to be pencil thin yet taller at the same time. Judging from recent trips through the department store sales, the shoe departments back up those claims. Seen today, heels priced at $6,395. Yes, they defied the laws of gravity, had heels just shy of seven inches and came in hot pink. They were unsold and took their rightful place in the sale rack at Neiman Marcus in Las Vegas. Another stood glittering in

iridescent fuschia suede on an eight inch platform; a comparative steal at $2,195. Yes, I am sure they elongate the leg, as they’re advertised to do. Too high even for the hourly fashion show at Las Vegas’ Fashion Show mall, when a high heel becomes a sky heel, the runway itself becomes a a scary place, as disaster overtakes elegance and sophistication.

The 2013 Newport Beach Film Fes-tival (NBFF) proudly announces the documentary BROADWAY IDIOT as its Opening Night film. The red carpet screening of BROADWAY IDIOT will take place on Thursday, April 25th, 2013 at 7:30pm at Edwards Big New-port (300 Newport Center Drive) fol-lowed by a gala reception at Fashion Island (401 Newport Center Drive). The 14th annual NBFF will run from April 25th - May 2nd, 2013.

Filmed over four years with rare access behind the curtain, BROAD-WAY IDIOT gives viewers front row access to the making of a Broadway musical, just not your typical one. The documentary follows the members of the famous punk band, Green Day, as they see their original songs from the album “American Idiot” transformed into a Broadway production. Ameri-can Idiot debuted to great success, winning two Tony Awards and now taken on the road around the world.

Three-time Emmy winning journal-ist and filmmaker, Doug Hamilton directed BROADWAY IDIOT. The film stars Billie Joe Armstrong, Michael Mayer as well as the cast and crew of American Idiot.

“Broadway Idiot isn’t just for

theater ins id-ers - it follows a world famous artist, Billie Joe Armstrong, as he bravely tries something new and challenging - that takes guts in my opinion and the aud ience gets to be there along side Bil-lie Joe for this journey. We are excited to share the film with The Newport Beach F i lm Fes t i va l audience,” stated Director Doug Hamillton.

Following the screening, the Festi-val will host an Opening Night gala at Fashion Island presented by Fashion Island and Esquire Magazine. The gala will feature culinary tastings from 35 of Orange County’s premiere res-taurants and a special performance from American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, now starring in his popular Las Vegas show at Napoleon’s at the Paris Las Vegas.

Tickets to the Opening Night screening and gala are $175 each and are available at www.Newport-BeachFilmFest.com starting April 1st. Patrons can also purchase tickets to the Opening Night gala for $100 each. Guests must be at least 21 years old and cocktail attire is suggested.

The Newport Beach Film Festival will showcase more than 300 films from 50 countries and host nightly special events, red carpet galas, compelling conversations with film-makers, international spotlight events and seminars. The Festival offers

filmgoers unique opportunities to mingle with celebrities, filmmak-ers from around the globe and film industry professionals in a beautiful seaside locale.

The NBFF is sponsored in part by Absolut Vodka, Fashion Island, Los Angeles Times and the City of Newport Beach.

Passes and tickets for film screen-ings, galas and special events go on sale April 1st. To purchase tickets and for information about the New-port Beach Film Festival visit www.NewportBeachFilmFest.com

BROADWAY IDIOT, oPens The 14Th annual neWPorT Beach FilM FesTiVal

Celebrating its 25th year, the 2013 KSBR Birthday Bash Jazz Festival, presented by Saddleback College radio station KSBR (88.5 FM), returns to the Village Green at Oso Viejo Park in Mission Viejo, on Sunday, May 26, 2013. Organizers are excited to announce the second annual Taste of the Bash, which was a wildly suc-cessful element introduced last year and will again feature more than 25 restaurants showing off their finest creations. The Taste is an added value so those purchasing tickets to the concert will be admitted to the Taste of the Bash for no additional charge. The Birthday Bash is the

major fundraising event for KSBR. The unique event features more

than 30 contemporary jazz artists with headliners often leaving their own bands behind to play with each other. Dave Koz, Joe Sample, Brenda Rus-sell, Boney James, David Benoit, Hi-roshima, Rick Braun, and Peter White are just a few of the musicians who have appeared in the past. Because of contractual obligations, many of the most popular artists cannot be announced until they actually step on stage, which makes the event even more fun and surprising.

The event will once again include a special tribute to Veterans. Saddle-

back College’s Veterans Memorial is the most significant tribute to veterans at any community college campus in the nation. In recognition of this event and the role that the college’s VETS (Veterans Education and Transition Services) Center plays in the commu-nity, the festivities will include a color guard performance and a special musical tribute to kick off the concert.

In addition, veterans and active mil-itary personnel may purchase general admission tickets for just $30 through KSBR’s Membership Services office: (949) 582-4501.

Advance sale ticket prices begin at $55; $60 at the door. General ad-

mission tickets are available at www.KSBR.org, and beginning April 22 at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, and the Saddle-back College Fine Arts Ticket Office (949-582-4656). A limited number of reserved VIP seats are still available at $110-$180 per person at www.KSBR.org.

The concert takes place on Sun-day, May 26, 2013 at Oso Viejo Park, 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo. Gates open at 3:30 P.M.; Taste of the Bash from 3:30-5:00 P.M.; Military Appreciation Festivities at 4:30 P.M.; Music at 5:00 P.M.

“One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress.”

— Karl Lagerfeld

by Bob Faryphoto by Katherine Schellin The Santa Margarita Ice Hockey

claimed the USA Hockey National High School Championship Sunday, March 24th. The Eagles defeated the defending national champions, Regis Jesuit Raiders, 4-3 in overtime in Coral Springs, FL. Max Kilkuts was the hero of the day, scoring his sec-ond goal of the game off a scramble in front of the Regis Jesuit goal at 2:01 of the overtime period.

The Eagles led Regis Jesuit after 1 period, 3-1 on goals by Tatu Hiltunen,

Max Kilkuts and Brad Budman. The Eagles outshot Regis Jesuit 12-3, and had the better of the play throughout the period.

Regis Jesuit came back to tie the game at 3 after 2 periods of play with a very strong push. Shots in the second period were 15-10 in favor of Regis Jesuit.

The third period was hard fought by both teams, and scoreless. The Eagles killed a penalty with less than 3 minutes remaining in the period to preserve the tie and take the game to overtime. Santa Margarita outshot

Regis Jesuit 9-5 in the period, and 31-18 for the game as it went to overtime.

That set the stage for Kilkuts’ he-roics and the Eagles 2013 National Championship win. The victory caps a tremendous season which included the hat trick of championships. Our Eagles now holds the ADHSHL Varsity 1A, California State and USA Hockey National Championships. Congratulations to the coaches, play-ers, and the Eagle family for a terrific season.

April 5, 2013

By Lauren KrauseNude lips, bold brows, and hair

jewelry were huge on runways for spring, but don’t try them all at once! In this guide, I transitioned these trends into ridiculously easy looks perfect for almost everyone. Try them all to find your favorite, or choose based on which trend you’re dying to wear.

The Au Natural

If there’s no time to primp and pol-ish, keep it simple. First conceal any under-eye bags or problem spots; YSL and Maybelline both carry ex-cellent options. Next blend in a dab of cream blush -- Stila and Tarte are great picks -- into the apples of your cheeks. Last step: Swipe on a few coats of mascara and a finish with a nude gloss. You’re all set!

The Gamine

This look is playful, flirty, and slightly mischievousness. After all, Audrey Hepburn was a gamine herself. Keep your hair sleek and straight or opt for a bob a la Hepburn. For makeup, go bold with cheery pink matte lips; swipe on “Pink Nou-

veau” by MAC or “Schiap” by NARS. Next line your upper lash line with a liquid liner, try Maybelline or Chanel, and wing it out when you reach the end for a bold cat-eye effect. Finish with a generous amount of mascara and you’re good to giggle.

The Ethereal

Big, loose waves are the key to

making this look a success. That and a copious amount of bronzer, peach blush, and mascara for insanely lush lashes. This look is the next step after “the au natu-ral,” slightly more grown-up, slightly sexier. To get that glow-from-within look, sweep on a highlighter, like Benefit’s High Beam, on cheeks, your brow bone, the inner corners of your eyes and your cu-pid’s bow. Set your look with a makeup finishing spray. MAC and Urban Decay carry some of the best.

The Daredevil

Colorfully crafted lids were seen on models at shows like Donna Karan, Michael Kors, and Moschino Cheap & Chic. Blue and red were among the popular choices, but don’t let that stop you from experimenting with other colors. Keep it classy, not clown-like, with a monochro-

matic palette. A simple wash of color on the lid is easy and effortless, but a smoky eye would work great with darker blues or navy. Smashbox, Sephora and NARS make heavily pigmented shadows worth every penny. Keep lips nude and hair un-distracting from your pretty baby blues (or browns, greens, hazels, well you get the picture).

“Everyone past the age of ten already knows that the residues from donuts, cakes, candies and those sugary drinks are going to be on the teeth all day, making cavities” says popular local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier .But rather than giving his patients along lecture and wagging his fi nger at them ,the good doc-tor often surprises them by offering them yet another sweet treat, saying “Here, try this instead .At my offi ce, we also have a Tic-Tac- like sucky candy that is sweetened with xylitol, which coats the tooth surfaces with a decay-resistant biofi lm. We highly recommend that for our patients going through orthodontic tooth straightening, or for anyone who is genetically pre-disposed to tooth de-cay.”Dr. Tessier adds; “Most people with busy lives fi nd choosing the very best nutri-tious food is hard to do and sometimes we give in to the temptation of enjoying a doughnut instead of an apple or more nutritious fruit. Treating tooth decay today is nowhere near as onerous as it was when I was a kid. Most cavities can be fi lled using modern 21st century technology rather than the dreaded drill. Here in my dental offi ce in Rancho Santa Margarita I use a laser! It quickly delivers a small, concentrated amount of energy to a very specifi c localized area in the space of a few minute visits; the patient is free of pain. Modern technology at its best! Regular visits to the dental offi ce for tooth cleaning and routine inspections will prevent serious conditions from developing in your mouth and guarantee a long and happy relationship with your teeth. If you sometimes give in to a sweet-tooth temptation, don’t worry. For Tessier and his team of happy dental assistants are always there to save the day! As Dr. Tessier says,” I’m a Grandpa, and it is my duty, my prerogative to take my little guys out for a do-nut on occasion. But only on the weekend and only when they’ve also had something nutritious to eat. Please call my offi ce at (949)-459-7212. If you need more information on this subject, or need to make an appointment. Dr. Michael Tessier’s Offi ce is located at 28562 Oso at the intersection of Oso and Antonio parkway down the walkway from Starbucks and the do-nut shop- how ironic.

Specializing in music lessons for all ages.“I would teach children music,

physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in the

patterns of music... are the keys to learning.” - Plato

The $40,000 Blenheim Spring Classic I Grand Prix welcomed twenty-two horse and rider participants onto the Interna-tional Field at the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park. The Peters were in stride today - Peter Cottontail handled Easter brunch for exhibitors, Canadian Peter Holmes set an inviting course and New Zealander Peter Breakwell took home the top prize.

Seven riders piloted their mounts with-out fault to secure a spot in the jump-off. And of that group only two were double clean, Breakwell and second place fin-ishers Michelle Spadone aboard Tembla (Morgan Hill Partners, owners). Both of these top riders now call California home.

“My plan was to go fast, I didn’t know if I would be fast enough. But every-thing just kind of worked out,” explained Breakwell.

Fast enough indeed; the pair stopped the clock in a speedy 41.300, almost five seconds faster than Spadone. The victory was even sweeter as Breakwell’s grand prix partner Lucas (No Drama, owner) was making a comeback after an injury. “To be honest, I didn’t really expect this today because this horse hasn’t been jumping a lot, he got hurt before

Thermal so I wasn’t able to show him. I did two classes earlier this week and he jumped really well. So I thought I would give it a shot today. I walked the course and it was a little bigger than I had hoped. But in the middle of the first round he felt great, and just jumped incredible.”

As the seventeenth pair to negotiate the first round course, Breakwell and Lucas joined the company of Canadian Jennifer Serek on Eleonora (Shin Shin Group, owner), American Karianne Boyce-Lockhart on her own Hopscotch and Austrian Peter Petcshenig on his own Saint Quentin, who went fifth, sixth and seventh in the order. Each of these three early clean rides had a rail in the jump-off, ultimately finishing fourth, fifth and sixth. Also qualifying for the jump-off was Spadone on Tembla, Canadian Tamie Phillips riding her Lerche 37 and Californian Michelle Parker on her trusty Socrates De Midos (Cross Creek Farms, Inc., owners). Phillips dropped two rails in the second round to finish seventh and Parker had a great time of 42.41 but also lowered the height of one jump for third.

With fifteen of twenty-two riders completing the course at four faults or less, course designer Peter Holmes did an excellent job setting for the field. “I

thought it was a very challenging course, I thought everybody in it was quite good. I noticed almost ev-ery rider was clear or had four faults. So eve rybody thought they could jump it clear. Two horses spooked to the combination and I think that might’ve been the shadows. But that’s horses, it h a p p e n s . T h e standard was very high and they just had to be very precise for a clear,” com-mented Holmes.

Riders placing eighth through twelfth each dislodged one fence in the first round. With eight pairs knocking a rail in round one, the fastest five earned a piece of the prize.

Earlier in the day, competitors and kids hunted for Easter eggs, had their faces painted, took pictures with the Easter Bunny and enjoyed an Easter Brunch, all generously sponsored by the California

LAX Classic Lacrosse Tournament.Blenheim EquiSports began the sec-

ond week of the Spring Series on April 3rd in San Juan Capistrano and features the $40,000 Blenheim Spring Classic II Grand Prix, presented by Summit General Insurance on Sunday, April 7th.

PhilharMonic socieTy oF oc raises oVer $175,000

The Philharmonic Society of Orange County presented its 2013 benefit gala, An Evening with MANCINI, at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Samueli Theater. Chaired by Marta Bhathal and Marsha Anderson, An Evening with MANCINI was a musical tribute to legendary Academy Award-winning film composer Henry Mancini. Proceeds from the evening, which netted more than $175,000, benefit the Philharmonic Society and its nationally recognized Youth Music Education Programs. An Evening with MANCINI was generously sponsored by MIKIMOTO, the Originator of Cultured Pearls since 1893.

Party attendees were welcomed with a cocktail reception in the Samueli Theater lobby and were treated to tray-passed hors d’oeuvres, including pistachio and herb crusted lamb skewers with violet mustard and canapés of smoked salmon and salmon caviar on pumpernickel toast. Guests also enjoyed glasses of “Pink Panther” cocktails as well as glasses of Heitz Wine Cellars’ 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2011 Chardonnay.

Immediately after the reception, guests were led inside the theater, trans-formed into an elegant space with shimmering tablecloths, candelabras and flickering candles, and gorgeous décor elements by White Lilac. Chef Ross Pangilinan, Executive Chef of Leatherby’s Café Rouge, prepared a delicious three-course dinner catered by Patina, beginning with a scrumptious house-made butternut squash agnolotti. Guests then enjoyed beef tenderloin with butternut squash, baby carrots, cipollini, forest mushroom, and fingerlings, topped with a peppercorn sauce. Apple crumble tarts and chocolate peanut butter brownies completed the menu. The dinner was paired with wines from the evening’s wine sponsor, Napa Valley’s acclaimed Heitz Wine Cellars, featuring its 2011 Chardonnay and 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Guests were delighted as two-time Grammy-nominated recording and concert artistMonica Mancini, daughter of Henry Mancini, took the stage to perform a revue of her father’s iconic works. A Pink Panther-themed montage of title credits introduced her band members, including Grammy-winning musician Tom Scott on saxophone, Tom Ranier on keyboard, John Chio-dini on guitar, Carlitos del Puerto on bass, Munyungo Jackson on auxiliary percussion, Mamiko Kitaura on piano, and Grammy-winner Gregg Field on drums. Accompanied by film highlights from the movies, Monica and her band’s performance included “It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera),” “Shadow of Your Smile,” “Days of Wine and Roses,” and the ever-popular “Moon River” from the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Monica also sang the song “Two for the Road” in tribute to her parents’ marriage, a particularly poignant moment during the night with her mother, Ginny Mancini, in the audience.

The evening included a live auction, featuring two wine packages, a gour-met dinner with Kaly and Dean Corey, a 16” Akoya Cultured Pearl Necklace courtesy of Mikimoto, and VIP concert experiences with meet-and-greet op-portunities with conductors Gustavo Dudamel and Keith Lockhart.

The Fund a Need portion of the evening directly supported the Philharmonic Society’s “Strike Up the Band!” program, which aims to put instruments into the hands of schoolchildren in Orange County. Offered at no charge to par-ents, students or schools, the Philharmonic Society’s Youth Music Education Programs have supplemented music education in Orange County for more than 50 years and helped inspire more than 5 million children with quality musical experiences.

Prior to the Fund a Need, Philharmonic Society President and Artistic Direc-tor Dean Corey made a special announcement regarding a new matching gift opportunity, informing guests that every gift made during the Fund a Need would have double the impact, activating a matching gift of up to $1 million which will go towards Philharmonic Society programs. This $1 million chal-lenge grant, in honor of the Philharmonic Society’s approaching milestone 60th anniversary, was made possible through the generous sponsorship of an

anonymous friend of the Philharmonic Society and will match dollar-for-dollar all new and increased gifts to the Philharmonic Society through June 2014.

Founded in 1954, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County is Orange County’s oldest and most recognized music organization, presenting the world’s most acclaimed symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, per-forming organizations and artists. A catalyst for cultural and educational development throughout its region, the Philharmonic Society is a key resident company in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

A group of Santa Margarita Catholic High School Talon Theatre students were chosen to represent the state of California at the International Thespian Festival at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln in June following their perfor-mance of a scene from “The Miracle Worker” at the annual California State Thespian Festival this weekend at Up-land High School.

Santa Margarita was one of 63 high schools across the state to attend the March 22-24 festival. More than 2,000 students attended. Talon Theatre Thes-pians performed on the main stage of the California State Thespian Festival on Saturday night for a spell-bound au-dience as they watched Annie Sullivan, played by sophomore Ruthie Flynn, and Helen Keller, played by junior Joanna Pisano, battle in the dining room of the Keller home in the breakfast scene dur-ing which Annie begins to teach Helen. Other members of the cast include Captain Keller, played by junior Nicholas Rule; Kate Keller, played by senior Ve-ronica Thompson; James Keller, played by sophomore Trevor Lown and Maid Viney played by sophomore Andrea Mar-tinez. SMCHS was one of four schools invited to perform on the main stage at the California State Thespian Festival.

Santa Margarita Thespian Troupe No. 5524 will now take their performance to Nebraska as the “chapter select show-case” entry for the state of California. SMCHS will be the only school from the state to perform at the international festival. All chapter select performances must first qualify from their respective state festivals. At the international fes-tival, thespians attend workshops and performances. Additionally, high school students have the opportunity to audition for college programs and learn about scholarship opportunities.

In addition to representing the state in the upcoming International Thespian festival individual Santa Margarita stu-dents were also recognized. Out of more than 1000 individual events judged by theatre professionals, senior Veronica Thompson earned third place in the solo musical category. Seven Santa Margarita students achieved superior ratings giving them the opportunity to compete in individual events at the International Thespian Festival. Those seven students are: senior Veronica Thompson (solo musical), sophomore Ruthie Flynn (monologue), sophomore Jeanne Ann Faris (monologue), junior Rachel Gallardo (monologue), junior Nicholas Rule (monologue) , and sopho-

more Andrea Martinez, junior Melissa Montes and senior Veronica Thompson (group musical).

Achieving third place in showcase for their performance of “You Could Drive a Person Crazy” by Stephen Sondheim were Santa Margarita students senior Veronica Thompson, sophomore Andrea Martinez, and junior Melissa Montes. Junior Conner Kann was selected for the

technical crew of the all-state show as a member of the carpentry staff.

Talon Theatre Thespian Troupe #5524 is sponsored by Amy Luskey-Barth, the school’s director of Theatre Arts Santa Margarita’s award-winning theatre pro-gram offers courses from beginning through advanced levels in acting, musi-cal theatre, technical theatre and design.

sanTa MargariTa caTholic high school ThesPians To rePresenT sTaTe aT inTernaTional ThesPian FesTiVal

On Thursday, March 27th, San-ta Margarita Catholic High School welcomed over 500 special needs athletes to the campus of SMCHS to compete in the 6th Annual Spec ia l O lympics , Track and Field meet. These special needs athletes came from several dif-ferent southern California school district including Brea, Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Capistrano Valley with competitors ranging in age from elementary school to adult transitional schools.

As a part of the campus ministry service project, ‘Project Unify,’ more than 400 SMCHS sopho-mores gathered at Santa Margari-ta Catholic High School to help set up the event and to buddy up with the special Olympics participants and to help guide, motivate, and encourage them along the way. The SM students decorated their respective tents in their visiting school’s colors to welcome them to their school. Project Unify is meant to bring together athletes of differing abil it ies that share the same competitive drive and love of sports, to compete against

other “unified” teams in the com-munity. Eventually, the goal is to have a sports rally identifying and supporting all of the Project Unify teams, as well as getting the word out about Special Olympics cam-paign against the “R” word and any other words and behaviors that hurt the human spirit.

When the busses arrived on campus at 9:30am, the SM sopho-more student body gathered to form a ‘welcome tunnel’ to cheer on every last competitor as they departed their bus and headed to their designated tents. As the athletes arrived at their tent, they were then buddied up with an SMCHS sophomore who was their personal coach for the day.

When the athletes settled in at their tents, they were then given their bib numbers and headed off to their designated events with the help of their SM sophomore buddy. The different events were the 25 meter dash, the 50 meter dash, and the softball toss.

A t t he comp le t i on o f t he i r events, every school representa-tive and competitor was treated

to a sack lunch at their tent while they cooled down and were able to share stories about how they did. When lunch was over, the athletes and their buddies then took to the makeshift dance floor which was led by campus minis-try secretary Margie Diorio who served as the DJ. The kids were able to cut loose to some of their

favorite songs while dancing and laughing the morning away.

The next Spec ia l O lympics event will feature swimming and will take place on April 13th at the SMCHS Aquatic Center from 9:00am-noon.

April 5, 2013

By Kelly BennettI came to Tanzania to learn ev-

erything I can about Light in Africa. Started eleven years ago by Mama Lynn Elliott, Light in Africa is a home for children who have been aban-doned by their parents because of having a disability (mental or physi-cal), abandoned because of HIV/AIDS, neglected or they’ve been orphaned. Many reasons these kids are orphaned is because their parents do not survive the common illnesses because of lack of health care. Women die at childbirth, many die from diseases that could have been easily treated, like malaria, respira-tory problems, and simple infections.

Fortunately, Light in Africa has dispensary’s set up. They are one day medical outreaches that have volunteer doctors that come from all around the world bringing medicine to treat people at the “clinic” for the ailments that folks have. When word gets out to the villagers that the doc-tors have arrived, there are hundreds already waiting.

There are about 90 children liv-ing at Light in Africa. They have 5 houses,Tumaini (which means “hope” in Swahili) houses the special needs children, mostly all with cerebral palsy as well as the babies; Happy House has toddlers; Laughter House has girls ages 7 years to 10 years of age, Newcastle House is for older girls ages 10-15, and Rosemary House has younger boys ages 5-10. The older boys are in a group home a few miles from here.

Where I’m staying is actually called TorchBearer. It’s a FOR profit compa-ny that provides accommodations in numerous forms, from guests houses (where I am sleeping) to camping. There is a store that has jewelry, clothes, baskets, and artwork made from the local villagers for purchase, a restaurant and a bar. The idea is for Torchbearer to expand to run safaris and tours and to employ more

people. ALL the money made from TorchBearer goes back into Light in Africa, the nonprofit organization to help them with their work.

The “Extreme Maasai Experience” is one such tour that they’ve created and hope more people get to know as these two organizations hope to bring more tourism to Tanzania, and in re-turn give back to the community with Voluntourism. I went on a car tour of the “Extreme Massai Experience” and it was quite a trek. It’s a walking tour of about 97 kilometers which is a little over 60 miles. Training adventure seekers in the survival skills of the Maasai warriors, the three-to-five day foot-trek through the heart of Maasai land immerses travelers in the clothing, food, culture, medicinal practices and practical skills used by the tribe. The experience culminates in a surprise Maasai celebration that many participants have said was the experience of a lifetime.

While on the the car tour, we received a phone call that revealed two children (6 week old twins) were taken away from their mother. She had abandoned them, neighbors had called the police and complained of them crying. After a meeting with the social worker, it was determined that the twins were to be given to Light in Africa to be cared for. Such a beauti-ful boy and a girl - I call them “Prince” and “Princess” as I am now sponsor-ing these two precious babies. Their survival just increased to 100% at Light in Africa.

Here they will learn that someone does love them, compassion for oth-ers along with confidence and self esteem to help them grow to self sufficient people who will hopefully pass the torch to the next generation of Tanzanians.

Next week, join me as we build a kitchen and run with bulls!

More information on Light in Africa can be found at www.LightInAfrica.org

My Tanzania TriP – ParT 2

My cottage I lived in for the 3 weeks I stayed in Tanzania. Complete with bed, dresser, shower and a flushing toilet - this was my home!

Chemka Hot Springs is one stop on the “Extreme Maasai Experience” - it’s a natural hot spring where the water is cool and the trees make great shade from the hot sun.

Prince and Princess, two adorable little twins I’m sponsoring!

We stopped and saw the food kitchen - it was calculated that in the 8 years Mama Lynn has had her food kitchen open, she’s fed over 625,000 children.

Stopping at one of the Maasai schools, the kids were overjoyed to see us! Light in Africa donated study books to the 300 students.
