Hi all,
I'm trying to get into the habit of sending out a quarterly update. So far so good! Please feel free to share the attached document with others.
We had a good trip to Pestel in March with the Miss World Organization and thankfully, while there were a number of snafus, there were no injuries/accidents or illnesses. We are now cooking up some really neat plans and I hope to share that with you fairly soon, probably in the next update (oh boy, a cliffhanger!).
There is so much for which to be truly thankful, as you'll read about in the update. There is no way to give everyone his/her dues, but I think you'll get the sense that this is a combined effort with individuals doing their parts. So much is needed on so many levels, and we have seen time and time again people step up with encouragement, prayers, donations, fund-raising, providing opportunities to speak, promoting the needs of the poor in Pestel, managing projects, organizing people, volunteering to take one some aspect of the work, etc. In short, people willing to give of themselves.
With a grateful heart,
Ben
