I am so thankful that I have gotten the website posted to the web and I've gotten the paperwork for tax exemption sent to the IRS-the 1023. So I'll be a 501 (c)3 as soon as they notify me and then it will be retroactive to the date I mailed the paperwork--April 6, 2008.
and I'm gearing up for the trip to Kenya, but I've waited so long to ask anyone for donations. My friend Anita is bringing tons of stuff. She's got a huge midwifery poster set and a giant felt storyboard set, among other things. We're bringing childbirth and baby care books. My mom is going to teach hygiene and CPR. She'll take blood pressure readings and I'm not sure what else.
I'm going to be filming footage to use in a promo video so people get a feel for what it is like there.
I pray that Jesus is exalted and that people in Kenya give Him praise as a result of the generosity of those who give to see their lives improve.

My Kenyan Friends
My heart is heavy. Little TJ, Titus Junior, died yesterday. The cause is a mystery right now, but I'm sure they will investigate. He was sleeping and his brother woke him, which startled him--and he could not catch his breath. He died. He is only 6 months old.
His mother was at a wedding and did not hear about it for hours. His father was with the oldest child, Sheila, at her school. They took him to the doctor but it was too late.
I cannot imagine.
