School Supplies for Afghanistan!

Mark has worked on both a boy and girl school in Qalat and each school has close to 200 kids. Supplies are scarce and the basics are needed. I have been working on buying and collecting school supplies since I heard about the kids there and the needs they have. I have been getting the word out to friends and family the response has been great! I have had complete strangers see that I was buying supplies and give me money or buy a supply and hand it to me to send along. It has been very rewarding for me to see how generous so many have been to help others who are so in need. I am so happy to know that many children are getting educated which hopefully in-turn will help many future generations live a better life.

Christmas 2010

Quick Recap of Christmas 2010 - Mark arrived here in Virginia a few days before Christmas and we surprised Max at his school with Santa "delivering" Mark in a huge box for him to unwrap in the lobby of his school. This surprise took lots of planning and a few phone calls to the North Pole but, it all worked out! We enjoyed having Justin with us throughout the holidays as well. The boys are all getting so big!!
