One week later

Another week. Wow...this one went very quickly. Snow still here but much less. That's very good. I've been doing lots of sewing. Keeps me happy. The first part of two projects is finished. I'm waiting for a sale to start the second part. Hospitality Rm at church was stuffed with people. It's such a fun place to see people on any Sunday morning. In the afternoon the highschool kids sponsored a showing of Invisible Children. It's a documentary made by three college age men who went to Uganda to film the story about children who had been kidnapped from their homes to serve/kill in the rebel army that is found in a large area around Lake Victoria. Thousands of the children run away from home to escape being kidnapped and now are found in the cities, sleeping in the streets, basements and just anywhere they can. It's a very sad event happening in Africa. If you get a chance to see this film please do. You will see another place in the world where things have gone wrong and is in great need.

This afternoon I am going to a meeting with a friend at Sec. Presbyterian Church to hear about the planning part of a carnival that highschool kids are sponsoring as a May event that includes other church youth in the Indy area. The carnival will benifit the Umoja (Unity) project in western Kenya. This project supports children with school uniforms to attend school as well as some cottage industries where people can find work making the uniforms. These central Indiana students are amazing in their Kenya committment. North and Sec. Presby youth have spent some time in Eldoret Kenya. Go Kids.
