Back from Uganda - Andrea called to say Pavel has returned home safely to Colorado after delivering our precious quilts to the children in Uganda! Yeah! She said Pavel's mother is really relieved - her 21 year old son went half way around the world, by himself, carrying 103 homemade quilts, and worked with these kids for a whole month in the slums of Uganda, teaching them math and how to do laundry, cleaning and bandaging their sores. He ate the same food as the orphans. I'd be pretty worried too. She has to be very proud of this young man. He is in great shape and quite excited to tell his story. (He'll be at Adam's Camp in 8 days when Ben goes.)
Andrea said he did great with the pictures of the kids with the quilts, and they are going to meet this week to make a video for us! Yeah! She said there is a really good shot of the little girls wearing the dresses too! They will post the video on line for us all to see.
We came within ten dollars for the extra baggage, and extra donations were spent on the kids - I don't know yet how. I don't know if we were over or under. But we were close enough! Praise God! Whew!
I can't wait to see those pictures!!! Hugs and blessings, Jan
for letting us help a wee little bit. Looking forward to the video.

While watching the video on Utube, I just had to pause and take this picture.

Amazing!
God bless!
Praise God indeed!
May God bless you and those involved and especially the orphans.
Hugs and love,
