UNBELIEVABLE STATS KELVIN'S STORY WHAT IS OLR?

7/7 9:20pm

Well, we're in the Atlanta airport, after about 30 hours of travel so far. oof!
now....

The last I was able to update you, we had visited the Kapalulwe project. The next day, we drove about four hours west of Lusaka to a very remote area (again, about an hour off the main road via a very primative dirt road). The area is called Sinazangwe, and was the largest project we visited—over 80,000 people, but VERY spread out; very rural. We visited a handful of people that first afternoon, helping to give out One Life blankets to some needy families, and things like that. We spent the night in a funky place on a large man-made lake (the largest in the world, they said).

The next morning, we made three more visits. these were some of the most fun of the trip. They were all to families with teenagers who'd benefited from OLR, and all were playful and fun. One received chickens and wire (and was developing quite a little poultry farm!), one received goats, and was finding success with those also. This kid was Dominic—it was very cool to hear him say how he was going to use his goat raising to pay his way through secondary school (something most kids in this area are not able to afford, since it requires going to a boarding school). We also visited Kelvin, the boy who wrote the letter in the original One Life flier (read it, if you haven't). His family was receiving a quarterly food allotment from OLR, as well as goats. He was a great kid, and it was so obvious that these small donations were radically changing his family.

Thanks for all your prayers! We look forward to annoying you with all our photos and stories when we get home....
