We left Canada on Dec 29th for a few days in Rome
before arriving in South Africa
During our 5 days in
Rome we saw many sights and soaked up as much culture as we could in our time.
I think you would have to live in Rome for a full year to really appreciate the
history of the city.

We arrived in SA on Jan 6th. As always we are grateful each day for the warmth and
sunshine of South Africa. Our surroundings are lush, green and flowers are
blooming there are birds in abundance. With that comes many creepy crawlers, frogs and
an assortment of small creatures to
share your space with. It has been a
pleasure to be at the Hands Village once again and very exciting to re connect
with family and friends.
We started our time off with a week of prayer and contemplation
of what God is showing us for 2015. It
is going to be an exciting year!
We are leaving for Zambia early next week to prepare for and
greet the Canadian construction team arriving early February. Constructions projects
will be Brian’s focus this year which is sure to bring with it many challenges
of building in a very different way in Africa! I will get plugged in where ever
needed which means I will do many different roles throughout our time. This is
exciting for me as I look forward to learning as much as I can in as many
different fascists as possible this year.
The plan is to be back in South Africa in March for a period of time. We
will be here to welcome the new intake of international volunteers who have
made the commitment to Hands at Work for one year. This is always an exciting
time.
We look forward to sharing more with you all!
