We’re everywhere. You run into a […]

It is unbelievable to think that we arrived back from Namibia just over a month ago! Since “relaxation” doesn’t exist in my vocabulary, I have seen just shy of four days at home since arriving stateside.

On Wednesday we said our goodbyes to the learners and teachers at The School For the Visually Impaired. It was bittersweet. I have no idea where the last three and a half weeks went, but I enjoyed every second of it. The day started very quiet, as the students knew later on they would have […]
