through my eyes... scene IV
Things people do in Luanda Angola...
Fishing...
home improvement...
School...
Selling... fruit and nuts...
...handmade brooms...
...shoes...
...air fresheners... or anything they can find. We saw someone selling toilet paper on the street too!
Soccer games go on all over the place!
Singing...
...dancing...
... and going to Church are also some of the things these beautiful people do.
Update on next trip to Angola:
I received an email from our team leader earlier this week! We are going to try and schedule a trip for maybe June 3rd or 4th through June 15th to go into the Interior to hand out Nets in the Villages or fly to Cunene/Ungiva (?) to hand out Nets to the Refugee camps. There has been a lot of flooding and so they have these Refugee camps that have no help.
That is all I know for now... things could change or fall through if we can't get the funding needed or if we aren't able to purchase enough nets. Please pray for our team and the people who's lives could be touched.
Thank you!

Back to Africa!!!
Yes... that is right! I am going back to Africa!
For those of you that don't know I went to Luanda, Angola a year ago this week.
I went with a group from my church FBC Garland for a non-profit group called His Nets.
Our goal there was to distribute mosquito nets (mosquiteros) to the people and throw in a little Jesus where we could. It turned out there were a lot of places to do both!

I had the time of my life and just found out that I get to go back in June of 2009! I don't have much information on where in the country we will go or what we will be focusing on next time. But... I will let you know when I find out. I have been studying Portuguese since we got back in hopes that we would return.
I am soooooo exctied!
