Gearing up for our July 2010 trip.

We are preparing for our 2010 summer trip. For this year’s team we currently have 9 members and a couple more in the works. This is super exciting.

In preparing for the trip our team is doing the following:
- Collecting school supplies
- Promoting Our Give a Book Program ($5 will buy a book for our library).
- We are also talking to local groups and churches and any that will listen about our vision/project.

Our current schedule for trip is as follows:

Our Main goal for this trip is build the structure for the library and to promote our library, through home visits, school visits, and a children’s fair that will serve around 300 children. Building this library will not only help the people in this community advance their education, but it will also provide opportunities for them in the future.

We are so thankful for all the support, thoughts and prayers we are currently receiving!
