The service & Sunday School at Mama's church sounded amazing.... I would have been moved to tears, especially by the children's singing.

Thanks for all the updates Gary...glad to see you're still smiling....Maggie is doing fine in your absence...Kids look thrilled to get their kits..All is well here...B & D
Your blogs are great to read. I look forward to them every day. I too loved that Map on the school wall. The pictures of the kids are great to see. Love those shawls they wear. So colourful.
Keep healthy and safe.
You are not missing anything in Blue Jays World. Even the DOC is losing.
Hi folks, especially Bob,
Heather and I have been reading each and every step along the way to putting many thousand kids in a better place. It's the early years that set kids up for life. You have been able to see some of this in your visits to children who have received kits in the past.
The other thnig we have noted is the way in which the team has come together, had fun and basically formed a human bond amonst each other and with the folks you are working with. Nothing like a common goal and set of values to bring people together.
Love the quiet passion; miss you and will see you soon.
Love,
Don & Heather
You have all been so busy and you get so early--I hope you are getting enough sleep. I am learning more and more about what you do and appreciate being able to keep in touch. Stay well and enjoy you days off. From Gary's sister, Glenyce
