I missed a post yesterday, and already it seams that so much has happened .. here is a little catch up to bring you up to speed of where we are now .
Some of the different canning we have done in the last week.. |
Jaedon was in charge of the tomatoes, he said that this car load was from just 10 plants .. that still leaves 990 plants to pick |
first stop was to a family we have been friends with here since 2009 .. can't believe how much the youngest has grown |
Luba's baby was visitig with her grandparents .. it was good to see the boys as well.. we have known them since they were in the orphanage in 2006.. |
We left a bunch of produce at Larissa's as well. She will use it for the mens home and for some of the families that she supports
This is the homeless shelter in Tokmok. |
You can't really see it here , but even the ground behind us is piled with squash and zucchini |
This was dropped at Day Spring, but will be used for Jeramiah house as well |
Kolya showing us his room |
after our 3 hour time limit was up, we went up on the balcony and enjoyed pizza and pop .. |
Later that night we dropped Kolya back off at school and we said good bye
Yesterday we were back out at the farm. We had a cleaning day .. Yvonne worked inside, washing and bleaching everything , and Jaedon worked with the boys and presure washed the out side .
Today, Julie and Acel are packed and in an hour will be heading for Paris
They are a little nervous, but know they can do it .. it is for a good cause .
Not just in Kyrgyzstan, but all over the world, women are being treated wrong with so many different issues.. Sex trade , slavery, physical and emotional abuse , unfair work practices. This is so prevelent in Central Asia , so we will start where we can . While they are walking , we challange you to find articles about womens' isues, post them on social media, and tag and challange two friends to not just to do the same , but to donate $25 .
Buy raising funds and awareness, we will be able to partener with those who are making such a difference here in Kyrgyzstan . Our goal is to raise $100 000. Half will be used for infrastructure, and the other half will keep things rolling until we are able to bring a level of self sustainability to the project. .. I will do a seperate post tonight , one that we can share and start the ball rolling .. starting tonight the challange will run for 40 days , while Julie and
Acel are walking the 800 km
