All our bags are packed...

We're ready to go!
Our house is packed up.
Our goodbyes have been said...
Africa, here we come!

Thank you so much for all your prayers. We've been so aware of God's helping hand through all of these busy packing days and the sadness of goodbyes. He has certainly been our shield and strength.

Thanks also for your continued prayers! We have quite a journey ahead of us!

Here's our itinerary:

Friday, March 6th - 10 1/2 hour flight from LAX to London
Saturday, the 7th - 24 hour layover in London
Sunday, the 8th - 8 1/2 hour flight from London to Nairobi, Kenya
Monday, the 9th- 12th - stay in Kenya for 4 days getting supplies, adjusting to time change...
Friday, the 13th - fly to Lokichoggio, Kenya (on the border of Sudan) and spend the night.
Saturday, the 14th - catch small plane to YABUS!

Thank you to all of you who are praying for us!
We'll keep you updated as we can along the way.

Hello,
My name is Valerie Ferrario and I am an advocate for Save Darfur.Org. I have also started the HOPE campaign which sends money to Save Darfur to help the people of Darfur and in the refugee camps. My question to you is, how did you obtain a visa into Sudan? President al-Bashir has recently kicked out 13+ humanitarian aid organizations and has cut off visas into Sudan. Can you please email me: valerieferrario@sbcglobal.net. I am a friend of Maureen Zwalick.
Thank you and Bless you,
Valerie
