I am praying for your growth together as a team, your deepened passion for God's glory in Burundi, and many opportunities to bless folks you meet along the way in the coming year.Steve Doanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954090281646983139.post-73270277869404271102012-05-07T08:55:48.344-04:002012-05-07T08:55:48.344-04:00I so enjoy reading this blog!

Your posts help me envision what we're heading to, encourage me that we've made the right decision, but as an MK it also stirs up all the MK emotions as you write about your kids and their transitions. Thank you for sharing so many different stories and perspectives on your time in Kenya and also this transition time.Jenhttp://www.jenabroad.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954090281646983139.post-91267492009325727762012-05-05T21:58:48.311-04:002012-05-05T21:58:48.311-04:00I agree with Linda S and Sarah.

I want to applaud all of you for your willingness to serve in such difficult circumstances.<br /><br />I am from India and such situations are not uncommon even in my country. My work has tried to focus on primary care -- a place where I feel, even given our limited resources, we can make a very big difference. We now have a model which can provide comprehensive primary care (including for dental, eye, and chronic disease related care) for about $40 per family (of four) per year. Using an insurance mechanism for an additional $20 per family per year we think we can give them access to good quality secondary and tertiary care as well.<br /><br />We would be eager to have you visit with us. We are not far from Africa and could use all the guidance and inspiration that we can get.Nachiket Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848565938834488882noreply@blogger.com
