Check this out!

This is a message from a friend of mine, Chris Page. A couple of years ago, Chris left Great Britain to begin the CARDS FROM AFRICA program here in Kigali. CARDS FROM AFRICA was desigend to promote the well being of Rwandan orphans. Today there are over 55 orphans who make Cards out of Recycled paper. Many of these orphans are the head of their household, now they have a steady salary to sustain their family. In addition to a salary the children receive emotional and spiritual counseling.

What a wonderful way to promote the Kingdom here on Earth!!!



CARDS FROM AFRICA is honored to have been chosen as the first Rwandan business to have reached the finals in the BBC World competition called The World Challenge, out of over 800 entries from 120 countries. Please vote for them now by clicking on this link and voting for CARD AID - CARDS FROM AFRICA

Hey Amanda! I've been reading some of the exciting things going on in Rwanda on your blog!

Our family is planning to move to Rwanda in January of 2008 along with the Koonces after we finish up our full-time presence in Togo.

Reading your blog is getting us really excited!

Blessings to you! Say hello to Kyla for us!

If I do Christmas cards this year, and that's an IF (as I've only done them once as a married lady), I am going to buy these cards. They are precious and made by precious people.

I also put a link to Cards from Africa on my blog. (You know, so the thirteen people who read my blog might see it.)

Love you, Amanda, and pray things are going well this week!
