Acacia Village update...


I just got the newsletter that updates us on the progress of Acacia Village.  It's so exciting to see the new buildings go up.  Jeff, Christine, Tess and I stood on the raw land last summer in Addis Ababa.  This new project will house 250 orphans with a medical center, school, care-giver housing...It is amazing!  We are always fundraising for it including asking everyone to bring a donation for acacia village in lieu of a gift at Tess's christening.  Also, I have sent hundreds of dollars in coffee sales to the project as well.  It really makes us feel so blessed to be able to help the children that are still waiting for families.  I love that we are part of such an amazing humanitarian project.  We are planning to go to the children's home when it is done to do mission work there... Tess can't wait!!
