We can hardly believe that we will be off to Africa on May 5th! Since learning about Look Development from the founders and our good friends, Matt and Amanda DeSarro, we have been waiting for the Lord to give us the "go ahead" to take a bigger part in this wonderful mission.
Two weeks ago, we got the "Divine nod" we were looking for, and we eagerly await what God has for us both here in the States and in Ethiopia.
We've checked into what we need medically before we go - no shots are required since we already have our Hepatitis vaccinations from previous trips to Mexico. Brian is planning his medical bag carefully - packing it with meds for the orphans, as well as for us if need be.
We hope to give each child a thorough medical examination and establish medical records for each of them. There are 55 orphans at present, but the prayer is that we might be able to house 80 once the orphanage is built. Brian is heading up the clinic building project, so we will be assessing the needs of the children in order to plan the clinic space accordingly. The overall project director, Mark P, says, Lord willing, we will break ground in June.
