We are only miinutes from beloved Africa. Sleepily, from the nighttime airplane, I become aware of the rising sun over the landscape of this land.
The brilliant, burnt orange of the rising sun fades into yellow against the midnight blue sky. We see it from the sky. From up here, high above the earth, I am aware of warmth's arrival; every sense heightened and my heart eager to enter into the new mercies of today!
After the long night, the HOPE of dawn appears!
I wish I had the words to describe how deeply grateful I am to be returning to Uganda. So I pause, to honour those who have been so significant as I have walked down my path. So many names and faces rush into my mind like a waterfall of refreshment. Each on of you holds a dear place, friends old and new.
I am deeply grateful to Donna and Angela, my traveling companions, friends, and fellow Board Members of Niteo, without whom I may not be here now.
As I enter this new day, it is apparent that a sunrise does not come without the forces of the whole universe propelling us forward. I am moved. It's so bright now...can't wait!
From over Africa,
Karine

Karine and team.....I am praying you all stay healthy as the strain of travel can wear you down. I know that the excitement of the activities will make up for it. We are in Florida now enjoying the sights with Lane and Maegan & family. Thinking of you often,
WE HAVE DOWNLOADED THE PICTURES FROM DANIEL'S OTTAWA TRIP AND WE HAVE SOME PRECIOUS SCENES FOR YOU TO VIEW WHEN YOU RETURN.
Love, Mom & Dad
