I am simply stunned. My five siblings and some of their kids got together and decided that rather than drawing names for the annual Christmas gift exchange, they would all donate to the Friends of WEH. Together they donated over $500 so we can pay for the maintenance and gasoline for the truck. We plan to do so on an ongoing basis.
Speaking of the truck, I hope to hear this week about an estimated time for its arrival in Cameroon. We do so hope it will get there in time for us to use it. Two weeks from now I'll be on the plane from Phoenix to Newark, then on to Brussels and Douala. I'm nervous. The embassy hasn't returned my passport with visa yet. I'll have to call them today.
Expect another donation soon ... we're just late in getting it out! We'll ship it Monday.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what time your estimated time of arrival is in Duoala. We arrived after the sunset so we didn't see much, but the feeling of being in Africa alone was amazing. The smells and immediate warmth we felt after stepping foot off of the plane was amazing.
ReplyDeleteIf I find my self in a position to donate in the before the 26th, you can expect to hear from me. However, I am currently attempting to raise enough funds to travel to Cameroon myself this summer.
Adam, we are scheduled to arrive about 5:30 this coming Saturday evening. My roommate invited us to an all night wedding feast, but after 24 hours of travel (unless weather makes it even longer!) I think we'll need the sleep. But the next day I'll get to go with her to the baptism of her pastor's child.
