HuJambo! (Swahili Greeting)
Habari Yako? (What is the news?)
Our news in these last few weeks ...
- Great team meetings of prep and bonding time!
- Kevin and I are about 85% done planning and preparation
- We are all getting a small handle on the beginnings of Swahili
- People have been generous in donating towards craft supplies THANK YOU.
- I have prayer bookmarks for those of you we see, and those of you who want them.
- We are currently sitting at just over $7,000 which means we need to raise $2,000 in the next two weeks before we leave!
- The dollar store told me they'd give us 10% off for supplies and donate $10 worth of souvenirs...random but awesome.

Fundraiser
Hello One and All,
I am not actually sure how many people read this blog, but I will throw out an announcement in the hopes that someone reads this. June 12(Friday) we are having a fundraiser at Wycliffe's office. There will be food, as well as an auction(proceeds will go to the Kenya team to help get us over there and provide supplies for the work we will be doing), and hopefully some African music. It will be a great opportunity to hear some more details about the trip, and to understand the importance of this trip. If you are interested in coming, please email Melissa and I at kmderksen@gmail.com. And if my efforts come to fruition, there may be some photography of my own at the auction, so come out, donate your money, and walk away with a wondrous photograph or pie, or whatever else may be there to buy. I rhymed, how wonderful.
