Off to Africa

After months of planning and excitement mother and daughter are finally off to Africa. Lyn and Darcy have been in a stage of euphoria because this was a dream for years and finally the opportunity arrived. They are taking advantage of a Free the Children program which permits people to go to Africa and participate in the building of facilities in Kenya. It will be a chance to experience a few days out on safari to photograph and observe the wildlife. Elephants will be the focus but all will be appreciated.

This will be the second adventure for Darcy as she and her schoolmates went to Costa Rica to experience a similar project.There were last minute things to do as the timing was at a time of graduations and school events. Bags were packed with necessary items {no extra shoes for the ladies} and could weigh no more than thirty pounds. For ladies this is a challenge.

We shall be watching for texting from Africa to see how things are going. We are proud of all the folks who do similar adventures to make life better in other countries. We are very proud that members of our family are meeting the challenge. We trust they will make a difference and return home safely.
