Helloooooo Everyone! So I am sitting in one of the only coffee shops that has internet in Delhi! I am a bit wired on caffeine... perfect time to update my blog ;)
So there are about 5 months left until I come home in the first week of December. Now's the time to really focus on the projects I need to get done before then.
One of the major projects we have going on is building our new Restart Center. We are so excited as this is going to be built in a key area where many children are in need. The picture is of the land we purchased along with Jen (who I work with... she's so cute!) and the pastor and his wife who we partner with through our education programs and now the new restart center.
As I've explained before in my blog, the restart center is where we first take in abused and/or abandoned children. This is where they receive all the care they need before we place them into a loving family. A child would stay at this center a maximum of 6 months. The sooner we get them into a family environment the better!
We have given enough money to start the construction but we have a long way to go. If you would like more information about this project or any other questions about what I am helping with please email me! jmarabito@gmail.com
So just a random side note: I am at the Coffee Bean right now. For a minute it was as if I was in America. I laughed as I looked around at the countless women in their beautiful suits and saris and the men with their turbans. I am in India. I love it!
Oh, and in case you were wondering what I did on the 4th of July... I met some Americans who are working through the same org. They invited me over for a barbeque (they bought it at the airport in Turkey). It was very exciting. No beef, not allowed! (although I have a secret supplier... ha!). Ummm... yeah, a very fun day!
Ok, the caffein is flowing through my veins. I need to harvest this energy into other work I should get done!!
Thank you over and over for all your prayers and emails. Please feel free to email me ANY time. I love to hear all your stories :)
I love and miss you!
Peace, Janna
