The News of Late

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.
