-NOTE FROM CORY-
 
I recently received an e mail from our teacher Victor,(he is in the blue shirt).  Once again, he thanked us for the purchase of the van this year.  What stood out were the WORDS he used when he talked about how it has made a difference.  He didn't say what a help it was to parents who drove their children to school, or what a help it was to parents who walked their children to school. What he did say was..."It has made such a difference for parents who GUARDED their children to school."
  
Victor's words brought to mind the day my own (then 7 year old son) came home from school and told me he was dumb and retarded.  A day each parent dreads as they reach for words to affirm their child's worth.  Targeting the vulnerable is not unique to one country but more prevalant and cruel in those where disability education is in its infancy.   A special thanks to our matching grant donor and all of you who met the match for the van purchase.  You have been a part of the movement forward and made it safe for these children to attend school!!
Tanzania Van

"Just a thought to share...Perfect faith is not believing you will recieve all that you ask for BUT that you are always being guided to the highest good if you will listen.
