Congratulations! - [Gordo]

It is my great pleasure to report that today, on your behalf's, I delivered a cheque/check in the amount of $1,300.00 to World Vision Canada's Mozambique Field Representative, Jane Sosu.

I have explained so many times, to so many people, how we all have come to be involved with this little village in Inhambane Mozambique. I realize every time I do tell it, just how unique what we have done is. Mrs. Sosu was delighted with our contribution and so pleased to hear the winding tale of how this cheque came to be delivered. The head of public relations also came to introduce herself and was also very grateful.


As most of you know our money will be directed to the representative on the ground in Mozambique who will look at what the most pressing need in our village is and spend the money as seems appropriate. World Vision will get back in touch with me (and I with you) about how the money was spent. We may even get some pictures if they are able. Expect news in 4-6 months.


On behalf of Laura and myself I just want to say THANK YOU for getting on board and supporting this effort. For you Etcetera folks... a big GOULET! to you all, for seeing a chance to do something and just doing it, that is so American. I mean that in the best way!


So to sign off I leave you with this quote from Micah 6:8


"... But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what GOD is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don't take yourself too seriously -- take God seriously."

We wish you all peace with love,


Laura and Gordon Brew (aka gordo)

Great job, Gordo! Can't wait to see the report next year. Maybe once we see the results we'll be inspired to top ourselves in 2006.

Yeah, man. Thanks for conceiving and spearheading this thing. It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a collection of North American misfits to help raise a village. This is truly the Lord's work, so keep it up.
