Well it has been an eventful year for Voices, James and I. I finally got James a laptop and digital camera, shipped to him in Malawi via a friend Thomas Balzar. That gave James the ability to go online and start blogging. Now that may seem like a small achievement and perhaps it is. The big problem was finding someone you trust that is going to Malawi – that took almost 3 years. You must also remember that James has almost no experience on a computer and I am pretty sure that he has never owned a digital camera with the exception of the one that comes with a cell phone. So I am very proud of James for making a page of his own and getting it on the web – with pictures. So if you look on the very top bar of Voices you will see a tab that says – About me – James from Malawi. It is a good read so please enjoy it.
It was great also to meet others that share the passion to help people: Susan Evans and Ted Harrison introduced me to several people on (of all places) Saltspring Island where they are doing great things. Thank you Susan and Ted. It helps to know that there are others out there and I am not the only one.
Also thanks to Doris Drake , Diane and Richard Salter, Deb and Christine Kennedy, Thomas Balzar, Zoltan Barabas, and the many other people that donated money to go to help James and others in Malawi. It has been a very good year indeed. I look forward to a better 2010 as I will be going to see James once again in Malawi if all goes well.
Thanks to everyone.
