In Between Flights

 Hey everyone!  I am on a layover in Johannesburg right now and thought I'd stop in for another hello :)  It's a busy travel day from 6am-10pm flying first from Blantyre to Lilongwe, Malawi then to Joburg then on to Kampala, Uganda.  Travels are fantastic!  Malawi was so gorgeous and our last day in the remote area of Bangula was just heart-wrenching.  I've personally never seen so many disabled and desperate people in one spot and apparently this area is highly neglected by the Malawian government.  It was such a blessing to see the feeding program we support for these people though!  And we stayed with beautiful missionaries from the US whom God has gifted with grace to live there.

We rode on lots of small and fun charter planes all over the country and now I'm wanting to do a "where I've been" type application!






This little girl is 6 years old and actually her legs are all shriveled up - the plastic chair she's on is the makeshift seat on her wheelchair pushed by her mother....


This woman pulls herself with her hands while her son carries their food protion on his head






Gotta get on the plane now!

FYI--Our church supports Amani Baby Cottage in Jinja, Uganda.  We have missionaries who go there a few times a year, and one of our church families is there living for three years to adopt a little boy.  Here's their blog:  oneroofafrica.blogspot.com.

Have fun!

Wow, Ange. These pics really open your eyes. Not just the poor mom crawling or the little girl, but even just the pics of some of the other disabled on the rudimentary wheelchairs. Life is so much harder with even a slight disability.
