Hi Zimbabwe team - I am really looking forward to your blogs when you get a chance to send them. Africa "calls me" so I am always interested to read about experiences that my friends are involved with. Leslie and Grant are lucky to be part of this new SCAW distribution and their team mates are equally lucky to have them as leaders.
Cheers, Sally Jo

Zimbabwe team- good luck with your distribution. I'm sure you are excited about working with a new OVO and being in a new SCAW country.
Grant- plese pick up a logo golf ball for me from the Golf CLub of Zimbabwe. I'm sure you will be driving past a course on your trip to a distribution site.

A word of advice to the Zimbabwe "newbies" - bring tissues with you on your first distributions because the response that you receive from the children and their families will bring many tears to your eyes. Just enjoy the joy and excitement of this journey. I wish you ,ouch happiness on this journey. It will have you begging for more.

Hi Zimbabwe Team
Best wishes to you all. Grant, I have fond memories of my introduction to SCAW through your kindness and leadership. I just read your contribution to the Dream team too... Well done. Doug is very special to me too, since we were the "newbies" on the Bangladesh team 2008. No doubt you are enjoying his wit and humour. Be well Thanks for making a difference.

Hi Hilda and Sidney:

This is your young brother (68on Friday) and Apple commenting from our home in Thailand. Great reports and nice pics. All of the team looks happy and so the kids. Good on y'all for doing such a great thing.
My former company, that some of the old-time staff at SCAW may remember, PRO-ECO in Mississauga, donated for years, but they are no longer in business.
When you get back Hilda we have to talk about us making a private donation for maybe a dozend kits.

Love......Apple and Win

Chris Clark said...

Glad to hear things are in full swing down there! The Clark Clan is thinking about you guys...

P.S. Dad - looks like we raised funds to cover somewhere in the neighbourhood of 10 bed kits in our golf tournament this weekend. We'll coordinate when you return to get you a cheque.

Much love,

Chris, Andrea, Zachary, and Tyler.

Was the lunch that you had at Anne's house what you would call "Krispie Kritters?"
I hope that your joy of distributing brings you as much joy as the kit will bring to the children. Ken Graham

Hello Sidney & Mom,

Love reading the daily updates! Such a wonderful thing you are doing. Take lots of pictures Sidney.

Sidney, by any chance were you the "nameless person" that didn't eat any of the crispy critters?

Thinking or you everyday.

Love Mommy, Daddy & Rishon xoxox

Hello Team Zimbabwe,

What a great job you are doing and what a fantastic experience. It is quite a thing for Joan and I to realize that we have travelled with 4 of the members of the team. Thanks for spreading the love of SCAW to yet another corner of the world.
