Hey everybody! I just wanted to give you a quick update. We had another amazing day with a total of four sponsors.

I have to say that one of the sponsors I signed today was one of the easiest I have had in a long time! Ben, a very cool looking guy was walking by the booth, I stopped him and started talking about the great opportunities children have through the sponsorship program. I was holding a picture folder of a cute little girl named Asha, from Rwanda, in my hand. I talked maybe for 3 minutes with Ben and he was so engaged in the conversation that I felt that I just had to ask him. "I have this little girl from Rwanda who was abandoned by her parents and is in need of a kind heart to lend her a hand." Ben looked at her and then I said "I really think you want to do this." He turned his head, looked at me and said "yes, lets do it!"My brain almost short circuited a bit! No objections, no questions, no concerns at all! He just had a huge heart!

I'm glad I got to know Ben and I'm so happy that he got to sponsor Asha. I love to meet people that are just waiting for an opportunity to help!

On another note, I have to let you know that this is my first time in Kamloops
and it is incredibly beautiful. The view of the mountains is amazing, the coolness of the air is like no other, the streets are peaceful and it is just very, very nice. I am glad to be part of this inaugural traveling team, opening the way for many other BC touring teams to come.

Please leave us your comments and positive thoughts, they will encourage our hearts!
