Lawrence Flys the Coop, Again!

Once again, Lawrence is bound for flight across the pacific to extraordinarily hot Philippines. He will be relocating Sherwin. Probably bringing him to an Aunts house in their birth province. The aunt lives in America but has some children in the area. We have been praying about how to help Sherwin, since extending his stay in rehab is more than we can continue with. Lawrence has been looking into hollow block making materials. Hard work, avoiding boredom is the goal, for Lawrence anyway. Others are offering a life of TV, so we'll pray and hope the best for him.

My prayers are for safety for Lawrence. He'll be gone a week and a half. The longest time away from us. Safety, good health, safety.... The driving there is something else! He'll be working on getting our office set up and running.

The office building we are in has a high vacancy right now, so Lawrence negotiated being able to use the office next to ours until the building owners need it, so we are setting up our initial library and Wontok Children base in there. Our latest idea, and I mean as of early evening today, is to have a mobile library. Our desire is to get the books out to the provinces where they are truly impoverished. The city we have our office in is a 24 hour city, I'm sure they have a library, and those patrons are poor perhaps by our standards, but not my target market.

Lawrence is planning on bringing our first batch of backpacks to the school and delivering them. Very exciting, I will definitely post pictures of that. Maybe I'll run off and make a website?!?
