ADVENTURES

Life can be full of adventures if one allows oneself to enter in and participate in activities that stretch ones comfort zone. Set in a breathtaking mountain valley I had the opportunity to put trust into action on a 2200 foot dual zip line that stretches over a portion of the RockRidge Canyon Conference and Retreat Center near Princeton BC. Wally and I looked at each other, said 'I love you', and on the count of three were off our feet, flying above the trees, and over a lake for an exhilarating ride that took less than a minute.
Our purpose at this spectacular piece of Earth was an orientation for a India Missions trip in October. YES, we are going again, I for the second time since 2006 and for Wally this will be his third time.



the home is located on a site that was once a leper colony, and many of the buildings are old and in disrepair. It is home for about 100 children plus staff.  This year the construction team will be involved in the following work projects:

• improving the water system
• improve the girls dormitory roof
• finish laying paving stones in front of the chapel
• various painting projects

Wally and I will be joining the team in their third week of work and then on our own we will be travelling further north into the Himalayas to meet and become acquainted with the 100 children and staff of another children's home. Building relationships with these families is more rewarding than all the physical help we can bring them.
