deliverance

Yesterday was a happy and emotional morning. I cried tears of fulfillment and satisfaction. Thanks to some of the most generous people in my life, I finally delivered on my promise to help the village of Sussex in Sierra Leone. I delivered boxes full of supplies (books, clothing, writing instruments, art supplies, toothbrushes) and $600 in cash which will be distributed to the village.

The books will create a beautiful library at the school. The school supplies will add value to the students experience. The clothing will be distributed to villagers. The toothbrushes will be given to a number of large families I met while in Sierra Leone. The money will go towards the purchase of rice for the families of Sussex as well as sandals for the children.

Without the contributions and care of some very special people this wouldn't have come together.

Saturday was a perfect day.
