Happenings this Month
SOUTH AFRICA
"The roof is full of holes. When we visited a few weeks ago after the rains,
the carpet on the ground was soaked and the mud was squelching up between my toes.
The walls are in dire need of fixing with mildew stains and mold growth.
The wind whistles through the cracks between the ceiling and walls."
Silviya Simmonds reports the story... Meet Silviya and the children!
Plan now for the September trip!

Rolando and Shannon DeWitt's
The First "JetBlue International Soccer Tournament" reaches El Salvador! 25 Crewmembers and 14 Doctors lead the mission with over $250,000 in aid and services.
The JetBlue team visited numerous orphanages, from young children diagnosed with AIDs, to a home of physically-challenged young adults and to a home for young boys addicted to drugs, specifically glue sniffing. In addition, the team delivered aid to families in the remote mountain areas and in a local "Homes of Cardboard" community which houses 1500 families living in extremely poor, unsanitary conditions. The group of doctors evaluated and diagnosed over 1500 children and adults in need of medical treatment throughout the country of El Salvador.
