Matt had been looking high and low, all over Panama, for potential orphanage sites. We finally thought we had narrowed it down to a site outside of Boquete in the Chiriqui province, near the town of Volcan. Most of you know that Ari works with us under HCCM. She came with her son, Josh. Also, our dear friends Jana and Luigi came, along with their kids Aryelle and Levi (and doggy Bibi). And we brought our doggy Jake. We tracked up to the mountains in a caravan of 2 cars, for the 6+ hour drive. It was definitely worth the trip. We were able to rule out several of the locations, as Matt and our friend Rodrigo were able to determine that the locations would not serve an orphanage site for various reasons. Yet it was worthwhile to get to know the area better, establish contacts so that when future land developments arise they will inform us, and also to spend time together as a group (as we have been seeking the Lord as possibly being foster parents on the site.) See our Gallery section under Hunt for Orphanage Sites for a few pictures from this weekend.
I have heard of a site, available for donation for the purpose of building an Orphanage, lets talk further....
