A new report was just posted this morning. Here it is:
---START REPORT---- Mathew went to move the other teen team [Lauriana's team] on Monday from Benga II, Wellman Family Orphan Rescue Unit to Mangochi, Heart of Faith Orphan Rescue Unit. They did not have a chance to go to an Internet place to write a report. They are in the bush still and NOT going anywhere near civilization soon. From Mangochi they are going straight to the hills of Dedza. They finished their project at Wellman Family Orphan Rescue Unit. They finished the playground that had different things like slide, swings and hanging things. When the team was leaving there was already about 30 kids on it playing and enjoying it. But they don’t dare to slide on the slide yet, so the facilitators are going to dig a bit at the end of it and fill it up with sand to make it a softer landing. The team said when they arrived to us how much they enjoyed being with the Wellman kids and how good friendships they made over the past week. It is amazing how much those kids have changed during the last 5 years since the Unit arrived to their village. They got so much nicer to each other and to the visitors too. ---END REPORT---
For those of you writing to Lauriana, send all letters now to the Florida address where she'll arrive August 7 and depart August 11 for home. She REALLY appreciates getting letter, notes, cards, and anything else from her family and friends. Of course, keep praying for her and the team.
