Another busy day for Global
Here is Peter and I in front of a building he hopes to use as a guest house for those of us traveling back and forth to Liberia. I admit I was not for the idea at first as I didnt catch on to his vision but after seeing more for myself, I can see how this building could serve for dual purposes and pay for itself. More on that later..
One of the highlights of my day yesterday, was meeting a guy that was highly recommended, I meet. His name is Kimmie Weeks and he is renowned for his work with the youth in Liberia. (Youth Action International) What a great guy. Loved hearing about the plans for Liberia especially when it comes to the youth of this country. We plan on meeting in a few weeks in the states and networking more with our organizations in Liberia should all work out.

special kids needing special help
Today I spent a lot of time with new medical cases being referred to us for help. This is Paulie. Paulie is 18mos and has a strange hand syndrome. He had fluid drained off once before and now it is being monitored. We are still looking into what he will need for medical services yet..
Here is Annah who has Potts disease- tb of the spine some know it as. She is a really sweet girl who was abused by her family. Her mother has passed away. She deserves a family who will love her!I always enjoy visiting Pst Peter’s foster kids. Here we are in front of a huge sign that the River Church made for them just to let them know they pray for them and they care!
Jr is a baby boy also in need of a shunt.And these are his parents. We are in the process of obtaining his medical visa so he can come for his much needed medical surgery.

Hello from Monrovia-Liberia!
I met with Omu and her beautiful family.
They are Muslim and so open to helping their daughter. It is a scary journey for them to cross their Muslim brothers to have their daughter helped by “Christians”. We told him that the love of a child transcends all religious faiths. Omu has cancer and will be receiving medical help from Global Orphan Outreach and others who are all networking together to help her.
Today we spent time talking to a Ugandan Doctor who will be handling all our medical reports. Very nice guy. There were many mothers and babies at this hospital so we visited with many as you can tell from our pictures I posted. Haha. Also got the hospital tour along with a representative of UNICEF who was there looking into what they were doing for help there at this hospital which is good of course. Yep- kept my opinions to myself. :0)
I picked up Barvor’s visa from the embassy as well.
More tomorrow if the internet allows....
