schedule



Packing like mad over here at Team Alexander trying to get ready to roll out of here in the morning.  Packing for a team of 8 is no simply task! :)

I wanted to give the schudule for the week so you can pray specifically and have an idea where we are and what we are doing.

The team flys home and we begin our second part of this journey.  We will all drive to Awassa to visit Gorche, the village Eyasu is from.  We will see the family, the very place that Eyasu spent the first 23 months of his life and where we will partner with A Glimmer of Hope to provide clean water and education to the very people that have given us SO much.  


We will be updating the blog as much as possible.  Thank you Tymm and Gwen!  Also see our facebook page, EthiopiaSmile 2010 as prayerfully many from the team will post updates there.

How did you arrange the medical mission? My husband is a family practice doctor, and we'd love work in Ethiopia. Our daughter is a nurse practitioner and she would too. Our son is from Hawassa.
