Kaka School Update

looking back...

I came back from Africa with my son...

and realized I never would be the same.

Part of my heart was gone

and would forever remain in the Congo,

the birth country of my Zalen.

As I grieved and struggled to find my place

after the airport

so many of you rallied around me

listened to this new heartbeat

that God created through the broken

and instead of rolling your eyes

you joined in

to buy mosquito nets on World Malaria Day

you joined in

and donated items and helped me with the yard sale

for this school...for the children I left behind....

A little over a year ago I was here...

taking in all of this
and realizing compassion was not enough

 

and now...

 

The school at Kaka is almost complete!

Thanks to a lot of people working together to make a big difference!

Small added up quickly.

My timid of goal of raising $500 for this dream was blown out of the water

I think all together we raised around $1,100 through donations/yard sale

Many other people around the country joined our efforts.

I am very thankful for the non-for-profit who partnered along side our agency

to take this project to completion.  I seriously love Mama J.'s pet projects!  

Hopefully, I will get to meet the founders, the Boe family, at the annual 

"Golf for Congo" fundraiser this summer in Wisconsin ----> June 17th, 2013
