Practice in Patience

Oh, I wonder when I will learn patience. I guess I am in training. Today, I decided to spend about 2 hours finishing the Service Journey pages of the website before traveling to Kenya. It is so much harder to work on the website from there. Slow connections, lots of interruptions-- things to try your patience -- etc. So I complete several pages -- Oh that feels so good. -- But gosh that side bar is way too thin. I need to widen that side bar and shrink the middle table. -- Now you need to understand that I know just about enough HTML to be terribly dangerous. I copy well from other people and have absolutely no clue what I am really doing. So-- heady with the beauty of completion, I crash forward into the source. -- After all how hard can it be to shrink one table and increase the other? Well, in less than 2 seconds i destroyed my entire days work. Then try to fix it.,,,,Hmm -- further destruction. Call in the calvary!! -- Oh well - salvaged but still not correct-- and the calvary is intelligent enough to go to bed. Well let me get back to it and see how badly I can mess it up before I go to Kenya. Sorry all you who are trying to get information from the Service Journey Pages -- When I mess up I don't fool around.

Off to Kenya

On the way to Kenya!! Greetings, I m actually blogging and again I will dare to say that I will try to blog more faithfully this time. Maybe one of these days it will take. It certainly seems an easier way to let anyone who is interested know what is going on.
This trip - I have the pleasure of meeting and taking a young lady to her volunteer post in Rabondo, Kenya. It is one of the results of close collaboration with a Community Based organization. Expanding Opportunities has partnered with the Rabondo Community Project to bring Distance Learning and a Community Learning Center to this remote community. Timon, the director, called to ask if I could play a role to bring their volunteer safely to Rabondo. My pleasure. --- That will be the first order of business in Kenya, September 19th.

Then back to one of the more pleasant tasks - building in Mangu. Our children's home, the Joseph Waweru Home school will have a new cistern attached to the kitchen, thanks to WATER FOR HUMANITY! That will greatly increase the amount of water available to the Home by harvesting the rain water falling on the roof of the commons building! Maybe we will make an entire year without buying water!!

Watch the blog and I will try to post more often.

Testing FACEBOOK BADGES

Well -- Guess I am still very neophyte. I was testing FACEBOOK BADGES and ended up posting the Celebrate 60 image ... Wasn't quite what I wanted to do but there it is. Now when I have time I will change it
