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

Sounds like my Bob - getting out there with the kids dancing, especially if if gets him out of work. Sounds like everything is going well and all are happy and in good health.

Keep up the good work.

Keep healthy and safe.

You are not missing anything in Blue Jays World. Even the DOC is losing.

Don Barclay said...

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
