Feeding activities are slowly getting back to normal in Malawi. During much of the pandemic we weren't able to feed as usual - we had to hand out rations and the children could not eat on site. We took advantage of the time and worked on some general repairs. We're back in full swing now, thank God!

We're getting ready to fly on July 18. Andreya is working hard to finish her last bit of online school before we go (please pray that she gets it done!). We had her in the American school here for the first half of this school year but the situation at the school became untenable. The education and general atmosphere was not up to par with what she needs so we looked for an online option which we have found. It has been a Godsend. She's doing great! Yes, it's hard in other ways that traditional schooling isn't but for us there's no question that it was the right thing to do for her. On July 18 we'll fly straight to Jacksonville via Brussels. We only have a 5 hour or so layover in the airport in Brussels. This is the first time we're traveling since the pandemic, should be interesting. We'll have to have a negative covid test before flying. What a strange world we live in. Here in Burundi we are not exposed to all of the intense news coverage there is in the States, I'm bracing myself! Much of our schedule has come together, those 2 months will fly like the wind. We're looking forward to seeing our kids, grandkids and extended family.
