Dear friends and family, October is here, and I’m imagining you with a cozy sweater, a mug of tea and maybe a fire burning in the background. Ahhh that sounds so nice. Even though it’s rainy season here, it’s still 32 C (89.5 F), Benjamin and the neighbour kids are playing legos in front of [...]
Hello again, Hard to believe that it’s almost September! We just returned home from an amazing week of partnering with the Swiss NGO, “Seed” (https://www.seedbeginnings.com/). Seed is working in a very remote area of Battambang, Cambodia. This area is suffering under extreme poverty. Many of the adults have left for the cities to try [...]
Hello, This newsletter is a bit late because we just arrived home from Thailand. Yahoo for holidays! More on that in a bit. July was busy and wonderful! Lukas’ brother and family flew out on July 5th, and our very first team arrived on July 7th. We’ve had a lot of wonderful visitors in the [...]

The highlight of January was a [...]
