I
haven’t worked on any of my goals for the Round yet this week. Well, maybe I did.
One goal was finalizing my trip to Kenya in October, so I have been doing that.
I
sponsor a little Maasai girl through Compassion International and have started
the process of taking a side trip to meet her while I am in Africa. For her
safety and the safety of the other kids in her community, the organization
needs to do a background check on me and the friend who is going with me. Then
they need to set up logistics for her getting to me in Nairobi or me getting
out to her home. So I understand why it is a process.
I also
hope to talk to one of my friends in Kenya by the end of the week to see if he
has some ideas for projects for us as well as what supplies might be needed for
us to bring with.
On my
other two trips to Kenya, I left all the planning up to someone else, so I guess
that being the vice-chairman of Tumaini Volunteers means I have to step up to
the plate.
I hope
to get some writing done over the weekend. And not much before then.
The
pictures are of some of the Compassion children we met in Kenya in 2006. Aren’t
they all precious?
Focusing on one goal is a great idea! I often feel like nothing gets done because I'm pulled in too many different directions.
ReplyDeleteWorking on getting things together for a trip is definitely good. Good luck with getting some writing in as well.
