donations.....


Dividing up the donations for distribution in a village. Everything was received with such gratitude. I wish those of you who sent donations could have been there to see the thankfulness (and the need). Let me convey their great appreciation. Please accept my words as though they were speaking directly to you! They sent handshakes, love, and viewed these items as a physical sign that they have 'family' in the world who care about them and they are not forgotten. Isn't that a great message?!
With a view to 2014, I think we will focus on collecting kits for men......

do you want to visit?

Returning to Canada on April 26th with Pastor Raha from the DRC.
He is the senior Pastor of a church of 600+ and growing, the regional humanitarian co-ordinator, facilitator for Canadian Food Grains Bank, etc, etc.
If you would like to hear him or get more information, or have us do a presentation for your school on life in the Congo, visit your church, or gathering... just email me, and we will try to book that.
My contact info is in this blog somewhere...LOL....I am always loosing things!  :D
Look forward to hearing from you.....

2013 road kill....

= 1 camera & 1 computer (perhaps this one is not dead, just needs repair. When I plug it in to charge, and then touch it, it bites me! So, I think there is a short somewhere, maybe just a loose wire?)

After all, that same road gave ME more than just a 'loose wire'!! Just like my camera, I too lost the ability to focus! I was told by one who knows, that it is too old to repair, and not worth it (I MEAN THE CAMERA, NOT ME!! However.....??!....4 years! when did 4 years get old??! Thankfully I missed THAT memo!!!!!)

So time to hit my knees and pray for the money to replace that camera!
I hate missing all the photos from now on! That is my only means of bringing all of you here to meet and share my passion for all my dear friends in the DRC, and witness their remarkable accomplishments, their happiness, and their indomitable spirit..... :(

Sorry everyone....samahani (forgive me?)
