Sponsorship needed for triplets!

This family is needing your help. These triplets names are Hawa, Porlan, and Solomon. Their birthmom died giving birth to them over a year ago. The father has abandoned them. They are now a year old and very malnourished. Their aunt who is a poor farmer; is doing her best but cannot afford to keep them. Help us - help her. We would like to keep this family together if possible. We are looking for someone or a group of individuals who would be willing to sponsor them for $100 a month. These funds would go towards food and any medical care necessary. Contact us if you are interested and can help.

praise fest update

The Praise Fest went well and was a good fundraiser for us.We were able to share more of what Global is doing in Liberia and of course enjoy the great Christian music played that day. We look forward to attending again next year. I will be doing a speaking engagement at a church this weekend and traveling for that. For those of you interested; any one of our board members is available to speak at an event whether it be church or otherwise to help get the word out about the needs of Liberia. Feel free to contact us to inquire.

Praise Fest this weekend!!!

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is the Praise Fest in Maiden Rock, Wisconsin. This is a free outdoor Christian concerts that families can attend and camp there. Global will be doing the concessions those days to raise funds for our work in Liberia. Here is more info:http://www.myspace.com/praisefest

Liberia-Day 7

We stayed at Moko's Bed and Breakfast on 19th street. We highly recommend it. It was much more affordable then Cape Hotel- although that is a very nice hotel too.

Outside our hotel was kids playing soccer most of the time.

As you can tell by all the pictures I post; we enjoyed meeting many beautiful children.

Doesnt she look like a cabbage patch doll! :0)

Liberian Pineapple is the best any where- we had it just about every day! ha

This is a merry go round that pumps water too- the kids are working to pump the water.I believe it is the only one of this kind in Liberia.

Hopscotch!

Yum! I love my chicken and rice!

She was hard at work sewing and selling items. Many run a small business here to support their families using their own talents and skills.

Only in Liberia!! ha

His pet goat. I asked him if he is going to eat it and he laughed and said no!

Take my picture-you will hear that ALOT!

BEAUTIFUL!

Sunday morning we walked down to the beach which was just down the street. There were 4 soccer games going on there alone. Even the little ones were playing. And if they did not have a soccer ball- they used a tennis ball. Now that is skill!

Even Liberian Children build sand castles and motes. Sweet.

Yes we made it to the beach after a week of being here. Definitely was not a vacation but lots of work. We enjoyed our time here and it is hard to leave. We do look forward to going home to our families as well. We are much more useful to Liberia in the states networking for those who need help here than moving to Liberia..... We are looking forward to our next trip. Hoping others can come with as well! :0)

One last- take my picture- so sweet!
