Hi everyone its Marie. Missing you all back home . After a heartbreaking few days of seeing children living in extreme poverty either alone or with their families, we are now being shown some of the positive results of the great work being done to improve the quality of lives of some of the children out here. It has been fantastic to witness the children enjoying time at the various centres . The staff here are extremely hardworking and determined to make a difference for these children. Thank you to all those who sponsored me before I came out. It has been great to see for myself who we are going to be helping and to know that funds will be an enormous help to them.
Today we were fortunate enough to have a coffee on a terrace overlooking a volcano. It was on the way to the older boys home and the farm, which is located in a remote area resembling a jungle(although this was a hot subject of debate amongst the team!) 8 boys stay at the farm growing various crops including coconuts, coffee and bananas. A very adventurous Simon has agreed to stay overnight at the farm with 4 boys and a member of staff. An incredible experience I am sure and made more interesting by the remoteness of the farm and the language difficulties as none of the speak much english! Anyway bye for now. Marie

Great to hear from you Marie, Sorry we were out once again when you rang. Hope Simon is ok with his overnight stop at the farm. I am sending an e-mail to his hotmail account. The blog is a really great way of letting us all back here know what you are all doing, and I know that there are so many people tracking what is going on. All I can say to everyone is keep up the good work.
Marie and Simon:- The porridge nearly boiled over again as we try to put into words how we are feeling about the service you and the team and all involved are providing in God's name. We send our love and prayers to one and all. xxx
