Thank you !

Before we fly out, we want to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who's been part of our journey thus far. We've received tremendous support from our family, friends, colleagues, airlines and travel agents, travel clinic staff,  the CBC and people we've never met but want to contribute ! We're incredibly grateful for all the goodwill and can't wait to share it in Rwanda.

Now for the long-awaited goat update. We hit 150 donations ! A full $6,000 Canadian (which we've wired over via Western Union to our colleague there to ensure it doesn't get lost).  Click on the image below to see the spreadsheet. Please email me at djp55@hotmail.com if there are any errors.

Someone told me yesteday that we're actually going to be able to help at least 700 people in Africa (165 kids + 150 goats * 4 people per household (this estimate reeks of consulting interview)) = 765. Some of the help will have a temporary effect and some will be more sustainable. We're just thrilled to have an opportunity to convey so much love and support to those who need it.

And we're off... to Rwanda. Wow...we NEVER thought we'd be typing those words in our life.

much love,
Dal and David
