Hello everyone!

This blog message is more about pictures than my words! We are making much progress and by the looks of things we will be completing the new dorm by the end of this month! Can you believe it? I'm so excited. Deb and I continue to iron out all the quarks but it's going really well!

Many of you are asking if or how you can contribute....YES! If you would still like to help, we could still use your contributions. You can go through GVN, but it would be better if you didn't because when I leave in 8 weeks, GVN will no longer support my orphanage. There's a chance the money won't get to Terry's in time. So it is better if you just send a donation in cash or check to my home. Your donation will not be tax deductible this way, but please know the benefit is that the children will DIRECTLY benefit. I will make sure of it. If you still want to help, we will use your money to do little projects with the dormitory and the grounds (we want to build shelves, add some electricity in the bathrooms, purchase more tables and chairs for the kids to sit and do homework, purchase books and make a REALLY SAD library better...etc). Your money WILL be put to good use, I promise.

Make checks and send to: Jason Nyberg, 2538 Chamberlain Ave., Madison, WI 53705

Blessings!

Hi Renee; Thanks for all the blogs. I printed all of them from the first one--Monday, December 11, 2006 on to the present one. You look soooo young in the latest picture group ---Africa must be agreeing with you. What cute pictures of the children, too and your building is coming along so nicely. Your mom and dad are so proud of you---rightly so. Keep safe and come home soon. Love, Aunt Carol K.
