Wecome back!
It is my plasure to welcome you in this post!
We I was previlage to attend the MCC relief sale that was in Wauseon,Ohio.I'm still opening my mouth about what I saw over there,it is so amazing!.Well this was my second relief sale in USA.The first one was in Goshen last fall,again I couldn't believe my eyes seeing people with the amazing desire to help MCC by donating their time making those quilt and any other materials to be auchin and sold.Well coming back to the Ohio one,I should say this was not big as the one we had here in Goshen but it was pretty the same only that they had an ozzball,it is so funny!.
It started on Friday evening but we were there at noon getting ready for our display.We had our table to display the MCC work around the world.I was with Jorge Vielman from MCC Great Lakes Office.Jorge is a Regional Assosiate.When we got there,there was not question of what was gonna be,poeple were aready there.Onother difference with the Ohio one is MCC is sharing the an orgenazation there in Ohio,Sunshine.Sunshine is an NGO that taking care for the disable or maybe I should say unfortunate disability folks.Anyway what ever the relief sale made would go to MCC and Sunshine.Actually our table was next their table with their display and we were privilage to watch them perfoming a music,they are so good.The big day was Saturday but Friday too a lot went on with the likes of Quilt auchine.Oh! man you are amaze what peolpe can do for the benifit of the other.I was fitfully in the auchine and I witnes somebody bitting with 5 grand on a beautiful quilt,oh!man my mouth is still bare open of what I saw.
Anyway just a little summary of what the quilts auching along made was 95grand.
Another thing wich was really awsome during that weekend I was able to re-acquitent with my friends that last met with them in December.Allen and Siegrid Richer I met them during the MCC alumini gethering that was in Goshen last fall and I got to know that they hosted a Swazi IVEP in 2004 - 2005 so we got acquitent in that way.I was so happy to see them again they are really sweet although it could be my last chance to meet them in my life but maybe notwhy? you ask.
It is not gonna be long before I go back home,that is the reason why this days when I meet poeple I should concider that it might be the last chance to meet with those poeple.Actually talking about that I remember that just this after noon I was saying goodbye to my fevourite friend,Marlin Yoder.It is very sad folks to say good bye,even though I'm so excited to see my fellow friends back in Swaziland but I feel like crying when I say goodbye to those poeple that made my life here to be enjoyable,(every journey has a destination)I should admit that but it is hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
