Phew! It was really exciting to see some of the blanks filled in last night as we met as an entire team to have a training on the cross-cultural issues we will want to be aware of as we head to Rwanda. The more we learn the more excited we all become just to get there!

I want to thank all of my supporters again for the amazing response you have shown to the idea of Lynne going to Africa, lol. You believe in what we are about concerning the PEACE Plan, and what you don't completely understand, you ask me! Keep asking, by the way! The PEACE Plan is about training trainers; making leaders able within their own towns to do their own community development. We are picking up where some others have left off in a global effort to be reconcilers, educators, care-givers, and loving supporters of a movement in Rwanda that is phenomenally important to the future of this great people. And, right before our eyes, they are becoming a beacon of light to the whole world on the subject of healing and forgiveness, as they become ONE people and erase racial and tribal barriers. My support team members will be receiving a special prayer reminder card in the mail at the end of this month, and details about how to follow the blog we'll be updating from Rwanda! Oxoxoxox to you all.

To those who are watching and have yet to support us, can I ask you a favor? I am nearly at goal now, but still have more support to raise. Some of you have asked if it's too late. NOPE! Please help me and my team fill in the gaps. Even a small donation will make a big difference right now. You can find out how to give by looking at about me (pink, stretching my legs, over in the side column, top left of this page) or by emailing me at lynnelor@yahoo.com . I am forever grateful for your help :)
