Swaziland

I've got some more information on our planned trip to Swaziland this summer.  First of all, space is limited for this trip.  Ten is the magic number, and since I'm going that leaves 9 spots left.  If I take my oldest, you can do the math, there's just 8 slots open.

The money we're collecting will go to help set up a solar-powered well in Maloma - an area deeply affected by a drought the last three years and where the situation is so bad that people who are alive while you're reading this, will die before we finally arrive in July because they don't have access to clean water.

Unless something changes, the dates are gonna be July 31 - August 10.  We'll fly out of Dulles in DC, head to Johannesburg and then to Swaziland.

The cost still isn't (and won't be) totally nailed down, but early estimates are between $2500 and $3000 for the 11 day trip.  Remember, we live in a fairly stable and predictable country, but no guarantee what costs among other things are going to be like in Swaziland in 7 months.

Start praying for Swaziland and us now.
