In the beginning

Welcome to the ROCKHarbor Team Africa blog. We are travelling to Namibia, Africa in November.

We have a group of 21 people going on the trip. Our primary missions are the following projects:

• Choose to Wait – teaching a curriculum to 5th-7th graders that discusses the root causes of HIV/AIDS.
• Care and Compassion – bringing much needed prayer, medical supplies, food and hygiene items to those dying of AIDS.
• The Ark (Children’s Home) – spending time teaching preschool, playing games, tutoring and just hanging out with 38 kids who have been orphaned by AIDS.

We are also trying to raise enough money to buy The Ark a new van and to buy some land for a community garden.

Last night we had a beach party to help get to know each other. As the days continue, I will try and post more and more information about our mission to Africa. Please stay tuned.

Here is a picture from the previous trip to The Ark.
