The second day is a long day of discussion with the Salama committee.

Bill Shawn, who is a Planner from Alberta Canada and the Salama planner, is leading the meeting and he presents the various site options for Salama: A Village of Hope that will feature 125 homes for 1000 AIDS orphans, primary and secondary schools, a hospital, vocational school, technology training center, leadership academy and so much more. It will also have staff housing and guest houses for our volunteers - for you too. More than 1700 will live in the Village of Hope. All together it will be constructed on more than 400 acres of land. It is truly an extraordinary plan that will empower orphans to change Africa. Its awesome!!!

While four of us spent the day on Salama, Nathanael, Rick and Sam spent the day visiting some of our orphans. Rick was really touched when he got to meet his little orphan, who is much cuter in person.
