Greetings, Journeyers!
You will be blessed by this experience and you will be a blessing to those you meet before and after your travels!
I've just returned from an ELCA World Hunger Appeal visit to South Africa and Malawi. You can find my pictures from that trip up at www.imageevent.com/elcahunger
I look forward to reading your postings and seeing your pictures.
Breathe deep! Enjoy!
