I'm back. The summer has been eventful with
trips to the Boundary Waters and to Alaska. Even though I wasn't able to get to
Haiti, I have continued to be in touch with my friends there and have been able
to make plans for my next visit.
Back in June I applied for and was accepted as
a part of the Jimmy and Roslyn Carter Work Project through Habitat for Humanity
International. As a part of that group, I will travel with former President
Carter to Leogane, Haiti, and build houses for those hit most by the earthquake
of January 2010. I am excited for this new opportunity; I don't know exactly
what the trip will be like, but I will do my best to keep all of you posted. For
this trip I must raise $5000, and my friends and family continue to be amazingly
generous. If you are interested in supporting Habitat and me on this journey,
please click on this link and offer your support: http://www.habitat.org/cd/cwp/participant/participant.aspx?pid=90690266.
In other news, I have been in touch with
Gertrude a couple of times, and we plan to go ahead with our ideas about
creating a school near the orphanage that would serve poor kids in the
neighborhood and/or the special needs children in the area. Please be praying
for this new endeavor!
