Hello Again

I haven't posted in a long time. Sorry Jane-I think you are the only one reading it. haha. Anyway, I am excited because Mark and I have decided to help sponsor two orphans that I met at the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana. I was able to get in touch with my contact (Foley) at the camp via Yahoo! Messenger and email and I learned that the girls, Sylvia and Esther were not attending school because of lack of funds. So, Mark and I decided to sponsor the girls' schooling! I am very happy that we are able to help them. It makes me sad that there are so many children there, struggling and having trouble maintaining their basic needs but I figure, it is better to help 2 than none at all. Foley said that the girls are also in need of food and clothing so he is going to write up their needs and the costs so I can try to figure out a way to get those needs fulfilled as well.
Well, I am off to bed but I wanted to put some kind of update on here. I will post more pictures of the refugee camp on here soon so you can see the conditions the girls are living in. Please send your thoughts and prayers out to those who live in less than ideal circumstances, but still manage to maintain so much hope and so many dreams.
Peace, Kristin
