It looks like you just got out before the storm hit. Enjoy the sun while you can and hope some of this snow melts before you come back. I will be keeping track of your adventures and keep well.

Love the fingers, Wanda!
So nice to see your smiles and those of the children.
Unbelievable resourcefulness on the part of Kenyans in making wheelchairs, etc,
with whatever can be found. Amazing.
Continue the awesome journey with joy!

You are all saints, that's all I can say.Enjoy the children as I know that is what keeps you going.
I give thanks every day that I won the life lottery and was born in Canada........yet these kids all do seem so happy.....but then again we ARE seeing them on probably the best day of their young lives.

Hi to all on Team Kenya--especially Ken. Fond memories of my first trip to the Philippines with Ken as Team Leader. So happy you are on another wonderful distribution. The pictures tell it all---such happy children receiving a bedkit---and keeping Murray's legacy and his dreams true. Carol Rolph

Hey dad! Love the new SCAW banner for the large group pictures. Looks like you really are hard at work, but getting many smiling faces in return :)
Take care team Kenya!

We are thinking about you guys and trust you are enjoying your adventures.
All is well in Ontario. Guess what?
It's snowing!!!!!!! However it is not blizzard conditions, so it was actually quite a pleasant day. we went for a snowshoe out at the beach and made it out to Quesnelle island - no problem. We looked for smooth skating ice, but only found small patches. We dug a snow cave and Farley thought that was pretty cool (briefly).
Looks like the Leafs might actually win tonight! keep your toes crossed.
Miss ya and look forward to hearing about Kenya.
Love, Rachelle, Kyle & Farland

Glad to hear all is well.
I am safe here in Mississauga. Apparently another snowstorm is heading our way tonite. Remind me why I left Florida...oh yeah a 16 month grandson, an 87 year old Mom , and my birthday.
Guess I just have to tough it out. Yes I know MY life is not tough!. Deal with it.....lol

Bob and Team,

Just got back safe and sound from Kolkata. A great distribution as it seems that you are having.

Lots of snow and cold here which was a shock compared to Kolkata.

And yes Bob, the Leafs have pulled up their socks and the Habs have dropped their drawers. The season isn't over.

Take care and be safe,

Bro Don

Dave said...

Hi Dad! Great pics and keep up the good work. Felix is always asking about you. Or at least pointing at your picture on the calendar.

Dear Team Kenya!
We so admire you and all that you are doing...
It must be so heart-breaking to see the orphans and children in need, and yet heart-warming to know that you are making a difference in their lives.
God bless you all.

Great job team! Nice to read the updates. I'm a bit surprised that Bob got the award for 'not getting a single step right' - I remember in Togo he got at least a few steps right (for sure more than I did). All the best,
Freddy

5000 bedkits!!!! That is unbelievable in such a short period of time!
Amazing what pleasure a simple ruler can bring...
We are so spoiled.
Thanks for all that you are doing to make this world a better place.
Loved the Toronto Maple Leafs shirt on the young lad!
Safe travels to all.
