Hello, Jambo to everyone coming to Burundi in the next few days. Just to let you know that the rainy season is into full swing and so I suggest if it is not too late to get you to bring a light weight rain coat or failing that an umbrella works well. We can all be thankful that our guest house is not flooded, unlike many peoples flimsy dwellings around us. There will be many bronchial and mosquito related medical problems as a result of the relative cold weather. Fortuantely the clinics we will do will undoubtledy save lives especially of infants and elderly. Thank you for coming. We will have an awesome time together. Today I have conracted ring worm (one of the joys of cuddling and being 'Daddy' to many children... thankfully I have access and money for medication. The free medical clinics are going to have a huge impact and I know I will be moved to tears as many times we will see thankful faces in front of us. Brurundi is great to be ready for the adventure of your lives!

Love as always..... David and Sheena

Hi everybody. We have a favor to ask. Not sure if you have seen the new Facebook campaign for WOW Ventures. But we are using it to try and get corporate sponsorship for this JOC and fund the mobile dental clinic.

Steve (with help from Amy Robinson; thanks Amy) has prepared a video invitation to Burundi. You might want to see about sharing it at your church. Check it out on the home page in his latest Twitter posting.

Update from Christina Stewart on August 18, 2010 at 1:16pm

We hope to start booking flights in the next week. Be sure to email me any questions you have, and don't pay for flights until Kelly and or I have approved your itinerary, as we work hard to coordinate everything. David and Sheena are in England right now, and we trust they are being refreshed. We're in contact with Dr. Aline in Burundi, and they are all excited about us coming.
