Flying back to USA today. So sad to leave. So much more to do. Looking forward to Maine but not the cold that I hear is still there.

Some things change. Here I am sitting in Africa in a van waiting and sending this post...Some things never change. -- Luke has been swallowed up by a garage while I sit here and wait.

2010 WISH LIST

Many people ask us what we need in Kenya. The joy of donors to clean out their closets or shop for items to bless children in Kenya is admirable and the list of wants is always endless. Though luggage is limited, we carry all that is allowable.
This year I asked our staff to prioritize their wish list of items they would like us to carry to Kenya in January.

Home shoes, school shoes, book bags-back packs, warm jackets/sweaters, work gloves, aprons, shorts, home trousers, T-shirts, socks, medical supplies-deworming tabs, first aid kit, piritons,(I have a question in about this one.),hand sanitizers, kitchen supplies-jikos, hot pots, pot holders, hard sufurias (not sure what these are), covers, wooden cook spoons, pencils, pens, rubbers(erasers), paper, hats-warm ones,
Ohh,how can we forget about good old Cate? She wants Dental floss, CD player,wall hooks (glue on) ,Manchester united jersey or scarf ( a soccer team).
