Monday 29th of MarchThe day began with going to the Life for Children office to meet the staff and see the facilities. There are several social workers, an accountant, and others. Right now they are renting the space and have hopes of getting their own facility. This would allow them to have more opportunities to serve the children and save money. For example there is a street girl named Beatrice that Life for Children has taken in and placed with her grandmother...

First let me say I have the best husband and the most wonderful sister. Both have been so supportive in this adventure. I am so blessed. Al took me to the airport where we met with Michael, Founder of Life for Children Ministy and a partner of Walking Forward Educational Ministry.

Prayers all goes well. Allen will teach me this morning how to load pictures from the camera onto the blog and how to use the mag...
