First, Happy Anniversary to my husband. Can you believe it’s been 17 years since we had the BIG party?

The time is flying!!!! I had a nice surprise! There is a very sweet girl named Mollie that has been wanting to come help at the Trampled Rose for two years. Unexpectedly, she got the chance to come with another girl from Canada for the long Easter weekend. It felt almost like having my daughter here. This reminds me — I forgot to thank our two Canadian helpers from last week, Colleen and Thelma.

Where do I start? The magic has continued. A group of seven Americans just left. They jumped in and got to work. They organized the office, painted and redecorated the beauty salon. We now have a hair dressing room, a facial room, and a color cosmetics room. The sewing training center is open. We had a little misunderstanding about it. The women kept hesitating to move in and I just could not understand. It turns out they were using it to meet their boyfriends at night. So… I’m glad they have a new chance for love BUT the sewing training room is open and locked at night.

Today was surreal!! I just finished a press conference announcing our move into the country side to educate the people about Fistula. This is the start of Phase III. The moment before I started I remembered that I had never done this before and I really don’t have a clue how to give a press conference! So…. I took a big breath and acted like myself. Really, what else do I have to offer? It was so weird to have the cameras and the questions. How did we get here?
