My Suitemates Return!


notice how their beds and desks are covered in newspaper by pranksters.

austin and ben just returned from uganda after a long 20+ hour plane trip.  both are covered in lots of facial hair and look very tired.  now i won’t be so lonely since ian’s in chicago!  they tell me that the trip was very touching and experiencing poverty first-hand has changed their perspectives.  austin tells me about how he almost broke down when they visited an orphanage filled with kids who were HIV-positive. 

that reminds me of my mission trip to cambodia a while ago where we visited an orphanage filled with kids between the ages of 1 to 18.  the sad part about that orphanage is that those kids will never be adopted because of corruption in the adoption system.  they will stay in the orphanage until they are old enough to live by temselves.  they work together as a self-sustaining community with plantations for food.

some pictures from the cambodia trip follow…
