• Cool stuff:  After one of my speaking engagements in a small town in Virginia, a lady approached me.  She told me about her sister who is in her 30′s but is mentally disabled.  Because of her handicap, the woman is limited to being able to do only a few things.  One of the main things she knows how to do is to knit small winter caps.  Her sister has knitted hat after hat, because its one of the few things she knows how to do.  Her sister asked her to find a home for these hats.  After hearing my talk, the lady asked me if I would be willing to take a bag of her sister’s winter caps for my kids.  I gladly accepted and was able to fit them in my suitcase.  My kids were really happy to receive them!  I had so many that I was able to give them to other orphanage volunteers within our ministry.  Now this lady’s hats are at three different orphanages in Seoul.  Cool stuff!  Enjoy the pics (I apologize for any shaky spots, time for a new camera)…

  An extra treat, here are two pics from another orphanage that John Lee is volunteering at.  I will be profiling this volunteer in my next xanga entry.  He is the first to follow my lead from the States and come to Korea to serve the kids.  His orphanage is in Sadang, Seoul…

  

  Yup, the kids over there are definitely cute too
