News from East Africa
East Africa coordinator Edwin Angote wrote this morning from Sudan. He's been traveling with the groups from California, New Mexico, and Florida for the past week. They will be spending time at the Amazing Grace Orphanage, and St. Bartholomew's orphanage with the Sudanese kids.

Nick from Eldoret sent some photos of Lucy's trip to the hospital. Lucy is one of the kids in our Kenya sponsorship program, and she has leg disabilities and was in the hospital for Malaria. She was released this morning in good condition. Read more on Lucy here

Portland: We have Office Space!
The other day we had a couple of helping hands transport the equipment from my home office to our new spot on 45th and Burnside. The photo below is what the spot looked like after CV (Vibrant's pastor) dug into the depths of the storage area battling rats and spiders to ready it for the desks. Thanks so much to both CV and his wife Stacy for helping secure this area for us rent free.Jim Anderson let us borrow his pickup to transport the goods. My dad and roommate Mark joined in the process.

And finally we set up the supplies and desks. We are currently at $600 for renovation costs, and will be finishing the walls and ceiling toward the end of June.
