One Week and Counting


Dear Friends and Family,

Your generosity has overwhelmed us.  We've raised close to $6500 at this writing for our projects in Malawi.  Thanks so much to all who have contributed their money and good wishes. We'll do our best to keep you informed of how the money is being spent through this blog. Know ahead of time that your generosity will make a profound difference in the lives of many who have so little.  

We're just one week away from blastoff, and feverishly taking care of as many details as we can every day.  There are dog sitters and house sitters to arrange, suitcases to pack and weigh, work obligations to fulfill and numerous other fine points to consider as we embark on this wondrous journey.  Thanks for taking the time to "travel with us," hence the title for this blog which comes from the Tumbuka language which is spoken in northern Malawi.
 

Our deepest gratitude,
Steve and Mary Ellen
