Having Hope

I would love to thank each one of you personally for helping out or just eating the BBQ chicken on Saturday. It was such a success! We pretty much sold everything that we grilled and had a wonderful turn out. So thank you! With that said I will be able to take more than double the funds to Rwanda with me next month! That means more sewing machines and more fabric. I'm so excited to follow this through and even more excited to see Hands For Hope come to life.

Seventeen years ago "hope" was not in many of the Rwanda people vocabulary. Today is the anniversary of the beginning of the devastating and deadly genocide where one million Rwandans lost their lives at the hands of their peers, friends and neighbors. It lasted 100 days. 100 days where the world closed their eyes. 100 days of horror. If you haven't seen Hotel Rwanda you should and you may get a peek at what went on.

So on this anniversary take a moment and pray for the Hope and healing of the Rwandan people. I can't wait to be among them, share hugs and help them yearn for hope.
