Just wanted to check in with all of you. Yesterday was a really long day. Had a hard time with Internet last night. I did however upload some photos to my Facebook events page. You should check that out to see some of the updated pics.

Yesterday was another hard one. I went deeper into the Slums and was able to tour some homes. I can honestly tell you that there is nothing ever to get you prepared for this. The need is so great. My heart was broken many times.

Have more updates. I’m going to work today to try and update here on the blog. I do have so much to share!!

Thank you all for your support. It’s a lot to take in.

What is happiness?

This trip has definitely made me rethink what happiness and contentment is. I mean - we all can give certain truths and what we believe. But until you see something like this - it’s hard to say we truly know.

I dare say any of us have faced what these kids have faced - and have done it with such grace and love. It makes you think - what are we really doing to make a meaning….

Its all Business

Visited some local business - World Hope has created a revinue stream by farming Chickens.

We took a drive about an hour out into the country to check out the opperation. The plan is to develo this business to help in a number of ways. They are able to create jobs and they want to use this work to be able to ubderwrite most of the work they do with their Hope Center and school.

Couple of pics attached.
