Leaving for Zambia

On Tuesday April 10Th i am leaving for Zambia, along with my mom, Jeannie Steinagel from Pawcatuck Middle School, and Linda Coats from North Stonington Elementary School. We will be working with the orphans and widows, and helping out in the school. Jeannie will be digging the start of the 5th grade addition, and Linda will be starting the playground. i will try to report as often as possible about whats going on while I'm there. Also on Thursday April 12th at 5:30, the Voluntown Elementary school will be having an auction to benefit the chikumbuso project. They will be auctioning off clay bowls that the students made, there will be African dancers, and African food to be sampled. I hope that you all will try to attend. admissions is free!!!!

Hi Carly,
Hope you get to see this while you're in London. I made it home OK and got Mom's voice mail this morning.
Have a safe trip, talk to you soon.
Love Dad

hey carly!
i love you so much and i hope you and your mom got to Africa safely, hopefully you didn't get too bored with that 12 hour layover, lol. anyways, Mrs. McCusker asked me to give this to you (she was looking for you today, she didn't even know you left! :P).. it's an e-mail between her and a family member that explains how to put pictures on your blog, but it doesn't really say much. I don't know maybe you can figure it out. I know this is really big, but here you go!!:

Hi Carly and Sabrina,
I just got e-mails from Linda with pictures of you and the kids with the bracelets and eagles. I printed them to take tonight to Voluntown.

Love, Dad
