OH so we were wondering what she has been up to.  She has sent in a proposal to Habitat to Humanity to see if they would consider her as a team leader  !  And of course they were thrilled and so happy to welcome her in.  She has been accepted and will under go training very soon.  So Peggy is starting to look at building her team up.  I wonder who will apply to join? Congratulations Peggy, you are going to be a great Leader.

Ok, some little bird has told us that Peggy is up to something.  We already know she has been building houses for Habitat for Humanity over the winter in her home city of Calgary AB but what else is she up to ???????????????????????????????????

Here are some photos of the site that Peggy has been working on in Cochrane, AB (which is just outside Calgary). It doesn’t matter what the weather is like, – 20 doesn’t stop the Canadian Crew.

We wish we could explain in words and pictures what the experience was like but it can barely touch it

We hope to return some day

We are all back home safe and sound. But we brought a bit of Africa back with us. It was an amazing experience and we hope to do it again.  We wish we could explain in words and pictures what the experience was like but it can barely touch it.  The people that we met in Africa were so gracious and thankful for what we were doing to help.  The kids stole our hearts the first day we were there. They greeted us with big smiles, they worked alongside us, the little ones took care of the tiny ones, they got so much pleasure from a soccer ball and a skipping rope. They sang as they played.  The ladies and the men at the village took such good care of us. We hope to return some day. Many thanks to teammate Thai for sharing his great photography.

Ohhhh here we go! We are so ready to go and meet our new mates. We will get to Lusaka on the 19th so check out our travel adventures there. We will then meet our team on the 21st and start our build. Once we start to build houses we won’t have contact with you again until Sep. Watch for us!
