Back to Africa

Some of you may remember a little trip to Africa Dayna wanted to take when she was four. She really wanted to feed orphans, so she packed suitcases, and gave up one of her scone dollars to buy a treat at church. That dollar grew as people around the country heard about her story. Within a few days, it became over $1,000. We were able to pack food (4,000 meals) to send to The Raining Season, an orphanage in Sierra Leone.

Well, last year, I stopped to visit with Dayna's Spanish teacher one day. Lo and behold, I find that she and her husband have been involved with this very same orphanage! Earlier this month, she and two other teachers from Dayna's school traveled to Sierra Leone to spend a week working at The Raining Season. Megan Laune was Dayna's first grade teacher. With her permission, I'd love to share about their trip. (They even took a picture of Dayna with them, and one of the caretakers there made a bracelet for Dayna that was just delivered by Mrs. Laune last week.)

You'll definitely want to take the time to read each day's post.

Bright Children International

I wrote last June about a project one of my college friends was putting together. You can read about it here.

She now has her foundation and is ready to go. Please take a minute to find out more about Bright Children International and how my friend plans to go find a way for special needs children all over the world get appropriate therapies and help so they can live the lives God intended.

Many of these precious children are never given a chance at life because of their conditions. My friend and Bright Children International are finding a way to give them a chance.

Please...check it out!
