Light Through the Chaos

I see it! I see it! Two days to go and I finally see how it's all going to come together in time. I spoke to two Harding Biology classes today and two tomorrow. They are doing some fund-raising and change rattling around the school. They wrote little letters to the Congolese kids that were really touching. One Chinese exchange student with little to say drew a picture of a young girl holding a guitar. Not bad for the 5 minutes they had to write the notes. We took pictures of the authors of the letters to show to the Tayna children .
I am grateful ....to the Academy. No, I am really grateful to all the people that make this project possible. The doctors who were sensible enough to rescue Medical supplies before they went into the trash, all the people with encouragement for a dream even if they didn't understand what had gotten into me, all the donors of large and small amounts, and anyone who thought it was a good idea and had some time to volunteer. I'm grateful for the mentors at No Boundaries who volunteered hours of free advice to a novice; most of which I have followed.
This will be my last post from American soil. I'm hoping to find a cyber cafe or two in Africa. I wonder where the nearest Starbuck's is to Goma, Congo?
