New mailing address in Burundi!

We just got a new mailing address today as we have made our desicion to do phase 1 in Muramvya & it will also be the location of our office. Here it goes:

.

Isai & Samantha Torres

B.P. 20

Muramvya, Burundi

AFRICA

.

Today was a busy day as we are going through all the paperwork for the land in Bukeye; we should have the land deed within 2 weeks or so to begin building a driveway and fence on the property! Isai, myself and Malaki also took sometime at the new houses looking over repairs that need to be done, along with thinking of possible team members here to help us in painting and repairing. We could simply hire workers, although there are many people both local and foriegn that would love to volenteer their time to helping prepare a nice house for children in need...

.

As for the mailing address, we would like to thank everyone who has sent us packages in the mail. From adobo to baby clothes to gummies to photo albums to medicines... the list could go on! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. It might be hard to imagine, but here in Burundi there are just some things that are impossible to get; at times you just have to make due. I have a feeling Malaki is going to start teething in the coming days... or has started already! If anyone planned on sending something already, maybe you could include a teething ring & some teething gel for the gums for Malaki? I have heard you can use carrots also... we will see how it works! We are anticipating our time in the US, catching up with all of you; and of course getting the word out about our work here in Burundi. A small effort can make such a big difference... and the children of Burundi need our help! All our love...
