Emmanuel's gift





















I just watched the documentary Emmanuel's gift. It's about Emmanuel Osofu Yeboah, a young 30 year old man from Ghana who was abandoned by his father after birth and went on to change his nation. It is very inspiring and I highly recommend watching it. Go to http://www.emmanuelsgift.com/ to learn more about the movie.
In the documentary, a wonderful charity organization is mentioned. It's called the free wheel chair mission and provides wheelchairs all over the world. What another inspiring idea that started 27 years ago! Go to http://www.freewheelchairmission.org/ for more info.

Hills of Morogoro















I didn't take this picture, I found it online, but it looks like it's going to be beautiful

My first donation!!










Tonight Ken and I visited his parents and they gave me my first donation for the trip. I am so touched and grateful for their kindness and generosity. I will take this money with me to Africa and hopefully it will go a long way. Thank you Mr and Mrs Lee!

Step one: The Fundraising yard sale




















Busy Saturday in front of Liz and Andy's place. Ken was our number one heckler and got people to stop by just from yelling through a traffic cone... Hey you, in the pink shirt, come buy our junk. I love my number one goof ball... We made $238!!!!
