Dodoma Sponsorship Pictures and Gallery
I've uploaded the new photos from Jo French in Tanzania. There are pictures of 16 kids on this page here, and none of them are spoken for at the moment, so you are welcome to choose a kid to sponsor. It is $9 per month, and at this point we are asking that you commit to at least one full year - as the program is new and all.

And then there is a new photo gallery with pictures from our trip and some pictures from the children's registration in Dodoma.

The goal with this program is to make it as relational and interactive as possible. We hope to have several art projects and digital photos and letters and maybe some video and audio options as well. The church has had experience with Compassion International - they also sponsor about 230 kids for Compassion at the same place - so the program has been relatively easy to implement there.



Kibera Project Update and Pictures
The picture above is from Nick's recent trip to the Kibera slums to deliver the donations recently made to Mama Margaret's Orphan School there. The kids are having their lunchtime porridge. Margaret has an ambitious proposal that I'm dissecting and hopefully can set out to work toward. Nick had a good visit there, and spoke about the possibility of transferring some orphans under the care of the school.

Margaret also makes some crafts with the ladies there, and she whipped up this little piece that Nick took a picture of. Maybe someday I'll be able to sell the ladies' crafts from Lahash.net.



Couple other things
Emmanuel Sitaki and Itafari had their first concert with Jean Paul Samputu tonight. I made a video for the production. Samputu will be in concert again tomorrow night at Central Bible Church - and I'll be attending that concert at 7:00 PM.

I'll try to get out the new video sometime this weekend - so be looking out for that.

Please pray for my parents - who are in Sudan - and will be traveling back soon. I just got an email from my mom saying they were doing well, but just had a scare where everyone thought the LRA rebels were around and so most of the students and their families spent the night in the bush.
