No matter how conscientious one tries to be, there is always a myriad of small things left to do at the last minute! For example picking up my D.R Congo visa on Friday, although I leave home on Sunday!
The suitcases have moved to the dining room table for the duration. (we have a large table!)
People have been so generous that I will be checking 4 bags!
A huge thank you to the Lion's Club for the used reading glasses..... all repaired and cleaned, they look quite new!
Stay tuned and I will let you know how many 'pearl' necklaces have been made. For those of you who don't know about these, it is part of the {purl} Project. The message is that a pearl is formed out of adversity and suffering and yet it has great value. Hence, women of the world who have suffered great adversity need to be reminded of their value as human beings! It is an exceptional gift sent from people here to women there, and carries the message that their suffering is recognized and people do care. Neat, huh?

Visas
Having some trouble getting my visas processed. Still hoping to leave in 16 days!
Still have plenty of paperwork to keep me busy until then.
Someone donated some school kits for children, health kits for women, tools for men (If a man shows up to apply for a job and he has even one simple tool, he may get hired ahead of others....a huge advantage).......oh...........and they also donated the suitcase to carry these supplies! I will be paying to take an extra suitcase, but it is well worth it!
Also, the Lion's Club is sending 50 pairs of used glasses along! They will be much appreciated there.
'Pearl' necklaces are still being made!
People have been so generous with their time and resources, thank you!!

28 days left!
The suitcases are out! I am thinking I may need to pay for a third suitcase this year. You have all been so generous that I now need more room!
My schedule is made up, and my passport is in Ottawa as I write. I am hoping to have my 2 visas in hand no later than January 10th.
Now I am working on lessons, greetings, packing, appropriate medications, etc, etc.
The time is going quickly!
