ARCHIVE June, 2012
Thank you to everyone who donated to help complete the upper section of the fence! We were able to raise all of the funds and they were supposed to start working on it this past Monday. However, as you can see in the picture above, the road conditions permitted any trucks to enter Francois’ compound. Unforutnately, there is only one entrance to Francois’ compound. There is no way for a truck to drive […]

We are having a great time. It’s hot, hot, hot, hot, hot outside! We are SO thankful for the solar power energy that allows us have fans blowing on us […]

Our traveling started with some early mornings. We woke up a 4:30am in CO and Abby’s aunt gave us a ride to the airport, we land in FLL and checked into our hotel for the night. We spent a little time at the pool and then the girls were asleep by 7:00 (which is 5:00 CO time!). We got up at 4:00am the next morning and there was a lighting/thunderstorm storm. I got […]
