We are on our way...TV cameras, family members and well wishers say good bye as we head to meet the rest of the volunteers who are flying from different locations around North America. We left from Reno and will meet the group from  Missouri in Chicago...then on to Amsterdam, where we meet the group from Toronto and Michagan...the folks from Calgary flew through London so we will see them in Nairobi after our 36 hour travel-whirl wind...30 people who raised their own money, took time from family and work to do nothing else but bring smiles to kids faces ...sadly our leader Ian Hill has had to stay State-side to workout the ever evolving details of our shipping containers which are stuck in customs ( we have shipped two forty-foot shipping containers, carrying our playgrounds and humanitarian items, in advance of our arrival) ...Ian has stayed behind to help "un-stick" them...but we are led by the capable Jack Munns orphanage founder...it has been a long trip but we are ready to work...more to come-Bob
