Another day closer

I can't believe how much there is to do before we leave on Thursday. I just brought all the things we need to pack from our storage unit. Running shoes, medical supplies, t-shirts, toothbrushes and toothpaste, soccer balls, pens and pencils, story books for a children's library, children's clothing, knitted dolls and knitted sweater, small quilts and the list goes on. We can each only carry two 50 lb bags and I am hopeful that we can get everything in. If we are overweight then we have to pay extra and we need those funds for food.

My downstairs looks like a store with eveything laid out. Tuesday is packing day so everyone cross your fingers and hope that it all fits in.

I will put up pictures of everything we are taking with us.

I have received many emails from the folks in Kenya. I just received an email from the women's group that we work with in the Maasai Mara. That is one of the areas that has been hard hit by the drought. They have asked us to help feed the women and their neighbours so we have added another food distribution to our list. People have been generous with their donations and I think we will have enough funds to do this extra project. I am reminded of how much we had here at home. As I ate my breakfast this morning I thought of the children around the world who have nothing to eat and it makes my heart sad. Being able to help, even just a small group, is something that Hope2Kenya can do.

Thanks to everyone for all your financial and emotional support.
