The Wood-mizer should be landing in Liberia any day and the boys (Daniel, Josh, and Tyler) will be heading for Liberia on March 5th with a lot of work waiting to be done! From laying cement foundation, to helping clear the fields in the village, to building outhouses for the people in the Kpeletayama Village, to training Liberians on the Wood-Mizer...these boys will have a month packed of work. Please keep them in your prayers, for their continued health and strength while working in Liberia. I had a hard time walking in Liberia with the heat and humidity, I am not sure about working in that same heat!
UPDATE ON ORPHAN GRAIN PROJECT:
Peter Flomo has been organizing the clearing of 80 acres outside of the Kpeletayama Village....80 acres cleared by hand without adequate tools. I can't even imagine. This land will be used to plant cassava which in turn will help feed the village and a large portion will be brought to market and sold...this will be a huge step towards becoming self-sufficient for the Kpeletayama Village. Obviously there is one factor missing, and that is the truck to haul the cassava to market. Peter and I have discussed this thoroughly and had decided to proceed with the clearing and planting of the fields, and have a "due-date" of having a truck bought and sent to Liberia by the end of July (the truck would then get there by the end of September) in order to bring the crops to market. Lord willing this will all take place. Investing into this truck is really investing into the future of the people of the Kpeletayama Village. If anyone wants to be a part of helping with getting the Kpeletayama Village a truck, or if you know someone I should talk to, feel free to contact me (Kari: 651-206-7935). So far we have $10,000+ towards the truck, and will keep working towards our goal. The lives of so many depend on our commitment to working together with the Liberian people in creating an environment where they can be self-sustaining.
Thank-you for your help!
Kari
