Flying South (...and East)

Today is the day. We leave for the airport at 3PM today and were off! Our layover tomorrow will be in London for about 8 hours, so were going to do a quick tour, and then it’s on to Addis Ababa. A short 4-5 hour van ride later and were at our site in Durame, Ethiopia. The team of 8, including me, will then start surveying and designing a master plan for the Kale Heywet School of Missions. In addition to a classroom building we are also making room for an administration building, library, dormitories, and dining hall. We have 7 days to create sketches and present a plan to the client that we will go home and refine, create drawings from and send back. We most likely won’t have a large bandwidth internet connection while I am in Ethiopia. I am taking a page from my fellow Canada intern, Elliot’s, book and will be journaling while I am away. When I get back to Calgary I will upload these notes here, one day at a time with pictures. So be looking for that.




Prayer Requests
- to meet the needs God would have us fill in the time allotted to us.
- for all our bags to arrive on time and in full
- for everyone on the team’s health and well being while we are away
- team cohesion (we are meeting the volunteer design professionals at the airports and we will only have this trip time with them, so it needs to count)
- that God would impact our lives through this trip, and our hearts would always be open to those in need because of our experiences here.

Side Note
A few new pictures are up on the Flicker of a little walk Leana and I did along the river.

That’s it for now!

Lots of love,
Cindy
