Here we go!
On September 11, the Moores and the Ostranders finally head to Africa; our final destination is Minembwe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We hope to make our way up to Minembwe by September 22.
To see the location of our volunteer house (not yet built in this Google Map photo), the university and K-12 school, and the orphan’s home, click on this link to Google Maps. Once you find us, if you zoom out a little bit you can also see the location of the hospital and the camp of the UN peacekeeping troops.
Welcome to our new way of keeping in touch! After 19 years of living and working in the Middle East, we’re excited to finally be able to communicate more freely through this website. When there’s news to report, we’ll still notify you via email, but we can now also alert you via Instagram, or Facebook, so make sure we are linked also with you on those social media options so you don’t miss any updates or photos.
Our daughter Demerey has volunteered to be the LaOlam Stateside Administrator, so feel free to contact any of us or Demerey with any questions you might have at our new email address: LaOlamAfrica@gmail.com
Many have requested an online way to give to LaOlam’s work. If you are interested, please check out the “Give” section on this website to see several new options. Using the Amazon Smile program is another creative way to easily support LaOlam; more info found on the “Give” section.
Somehow, Michael
