We had the most amazing day. this morning went to meet all the beautiful children in the valley. They were a delight. I got to speak to each class and ask them questions and tell them about our plans. I asked them to pray for us tonight because we were meeting with the Rotary who would help us do the projects. And then we went to the most beautiful country club up in the hills. And met 12 wonderful people. My friend Eric Kimani was there to introduce us. Wayne and I presented the project --they asked wonderful questions and were very excited about it. Eric said they needed to vote on project-one man said he would give the $100 we needed and all voted for project. 5 people signed up to help us. Then we had dinner with Eric and the club president, a lovely woman who is a travel agent. Patrick fielded questions and everyone loved him. dinner was delicious and the conversation at the table fascinating about Kenya-India-Shanghai-the US. And Eric invited us to dinner on the 19th at his home. His wife is in India on business and will be home then. So Wayne and I are amazed and delighted. Thanks for your prayers. Love, betsyBetsy worked her magic again and the entire Rotary Group voted to accept the project. All papers have been signed and hopefully we are on the way. Her talk was so convincing that 5 member of the club are going to vist Mathare Saturday and for some it will be their first trip.
I think in some ways they now have a new incite into the possibilities in Mathare.

Dear Wayne and Betsy,
Thanks for the wonderful updates and photos! I am delighted to hear about your good day at the school and the successful meeting with the Rotary. It is great to hear that five members of the club will have some "hands on" experience with the Mercy Care Centre. Of course, we prayed for you on Sunday and we are praying for you each day. We are so grateful to God and proud of you!

Dad,
Way to go with the pictures. You cleaned up well and I know both of you did a great job persuading the Rotary. Now you can enjoy the rest of the trip and hope more good things will follow. Tell everyone hello.
Megan and Kyle send kisses and we celebrated your success last night with mom.
Love,
Bethany
