... and they're off!

In case you have forgotten, We are leaving on Thursday, 24 May for our trip to Nairobi, Kenya. We will be in Kenya for 5 months, returning on 24 October.

During our visit in Kenya, our sons (Forest and River) will be conducting a service project, sponsored by their school, called Caring Across Continents. They have collected money over the past 3 weeks and will be contacting and meeting students at a school in one of the slums around Nairobi. They will find out what it is that the students need the most and purchase it using the collected money and deliver it to the students. With just over $1500 collected, they will be able to help a couple of schools or one for a long time.
Also, while in Kenya, the boys will attend a Kenyan school and participate in cultural exchange in the way of pictures and stories, while learning as the Kenyans do. Updates to and more info about this project can be found at the project's web site -- http://www.caringacrosscontinents.org.

I wanted to share all this news with you.
