Tomorrow morning I am taking off for a three week adventure. My cousin Greg, talked me into joining him during his return trip to South Africa. Well it didn’t take much talking, because I have been wanting to visit this country since he began working there many years ago. Well the day has come and we will be spending 1 week in Madagascar spying on the lemers and other exautic creatures then we will be roaming my cousin’s old stomping grounds for about two weeks. I feel a bit guilty that I get to take part in these adventures but so happy that I do. I’ll keep you posted…..

Bridges of Grace, Child Headed Household Program, regardless of what you want to call it, the program has definetly begun. Of the 31 children included in the program from our existing Child Development Program Children 6 were selected to kick of the program by shopping for their new clothes items and eating a snazzy lunch. I can honestly tell you that I’m not sure if I have ever seen children so excited about a shopping spree. This is not an every day activity for these children who are lucky to get enough food to eat and they were giddy with with joy… like a dream come true. Not only that, but these kids were able to shop together and learned for the first time that they were all in the same position: living without parents or guardians and doing their best to get by.
