One week left...

The excitement is building. We are all busy packing (at least I hope everyone has started packing). The team in Kenya and Tanzania have been planning for our arrival and everything is falling into place. Email today from Dr. Furaha in Tanzania - "We are organizing with the local leaders still on bringing chairs and benches for the clients to sit,hope it will be succesful.I have also requested for them to announce this Sunday about it so that they will come as many as possible.Well,the best days to do the medical camps is 22nd and 23rd on the Kisao dispensary,the very 1st day that we make the tour then the next day we wind up,what do you think?I got one school which has orphans that are being taken care by the catholic sisters ....and have about 250 students and about 40 of them are orphans ages between 4-17years,some are albinos,hearing problems and some are  blind.was hoping if we could do a medical check up to them and deworm them...."

A retired teacher (Jeanette) graciously donated 720 children's books and Redeemer Lutheran Church in Hartford has donated school supplies for the children. Hope Without Borders works with several schools in the Kibera and Mukuru slums in Nairobi and last year started a library for them-they were so excited. Hope Without Borders has a School Sponsorship Program, and if you are interested you can check it out by going to our website at: www.hwb-intl.org

The Mequon-Theinsville Rotary Interact has graciously raised enough money for 14 purifiers, enough to save 84 people from suffering from diarrhea (which commonly causes death from dehydration)-Thanks you guys. Thank you to all the medical facilities that have donated supplies for this trip and we have enough left over to ship to a few other countries as well.

So, grab your passports everyone it's going to be a great adventure!!!!
