It's been a while!



Hello again! We haven't posted new information for awhile because we're busy planning for our trip to Ethiopia in February. We get our travel shots December 16.  I believe we each have to get inoculated for at least eight diseases! That does not include Malaria and we wonder if we shouldn't get it anyway. :) We're also busy looking into funding an outstanding filter system for the people of Ethiopia to use. Since our fundraiser raised more than we needed for the surgeries we’re investigating other life saving issues. You see, they get their drinking water from various rivers. Unfortunately, the rivers contain lots and lots of germs which produce lots and lots of disease. So....why not start with clean water to try to stop the disease. Actually, this problem is worldwide. We are SO blessed here in the US. We’ll let you know what we decide in our next blog.
