After months of planning and preparation, The Rotary District 5650 team is ready to travel to The Sons of Thunder Mission near Livingstone, Zambia. The mission includes an orphanage, clinic, farming program school and church. Chuck Erickson, Amanda Perrin, Dorothy Zimmerman and others will evaluate the orphans as to their growth and development. Other team members are planning to instruct the orphanage workers We have prepared a preliminary outline and will finalize the curriculum upon arrival. In addition, some of our team will be painting and helping out around the farm as well as assisting in the clinic. We anticipate attending the Livingstone Rotary Club Meetings and discuss their programs and explore the needs in the area for future matching grants. We will also view the sites of boreholes (wells) that our current matching grant is funding.
Following our 2 weeks at the mission, we will travel to Chobe National Park in nearby Botswana for a safari.
We are excited for the trip and will keep you posted as to our experiences.
Sincerely,
Chuck Erickson, Team Leader and pediatrician

Best of luck on your trip! I look forward to following you through Africa!
I stumbled across your site
I am the photographer/missioner that wrote the book on the Sons-of-thunder mission called "The Beatitudes" for sale on Amazon. This book helped the container of medical equipment to be sent to Sal and the mission.
Send me your email and I will forward a digital copy of it. There is also a free digital book on my Kenya web page. www.richardclose.com.
How I miss the mission and will head back soon I pray
In His Eternal Love
