I'm running to make a difference in the lives of the vulnerable in Swaziland, Africa! Please consider partnering with me on this extra-ordinary journey of strength and determination as I embark on my first ever marathon (42km), ultra-marathon (56 km) and finally "The Ultimate Human Race," the 89km Comrades Ultra Marathon!

Back in Swaziland!
Oh how I miss you all so much. I just wanted to update you on whats going on lately. I am in Swaziland at the moment and spending time at the orphanage. I am creating a video for our Compassionate Life Foundation. We visited our new property for the 2nd orphanage that we are opening in Africa yesterday. I also had a one-on-one interview with a woman that is struggling with HIV and TB. It was very eye opening to see whats happening and to see how Swazi's really live. I am going back to the Church we established just now. We will do some more filming and spending time with the children and orphans of this fantastic kingdom. It is very dry here. They really need rain as fires continue to run rampant through out the region. Will update you more when I get home. Love and miss you all!

Oh that's a pity ...you're in Swaziland already :-( I sent you a message/mail on Facebook but I guess with all the loads of fan mail you receive you probably didn't get to read/overlooked mine. Ahhhh well... maybe next time then.
ReplyDeletePlease give "my boy" a big hug for me...wish I was there.

P.S. Do we get to see some updated pictures of you and the kids? I hope so because those pictures were precious last time.
So glad you were able to return to Swaziland and be of help/encouragement to Linda with the work there. Wish we could've been there with you! (can't wait 'till next summer when we will :). God bless you Derek, as you continue to pour your life into the people and this very important work.
