Africa revisited...


Billy Lehman and Dana Goodyear have created a website of their trip to Africa to portray the people they wish to help. As you may know, my cousin Stephanie and I joined on their delegation to Malawi. Dana and Billy raised enough money from their wedding to build an entire school in Malawi. After visiting the site of the new school they realized this school will have no books. This energized them back into action to fund a library for the Rummy Goodyear School. The school is set to open before Christmas this year!


Billy makes some bricks out of mud.





If you are interested in learning more about their project, seeing pictures of the Malawi people, please check out:

They are trying to raise $15,000 more dollars to build this library. It is all explained in their letter.

And make sure you watch this video to catch a small glimpse of the hope and beauty these people possess.

The song will stay with you.
