Great article. Making me believe we'll be able to see some great career-minded people work in Tjeko. Tjeko is all excited about that!

Noah's Ark coming to Kentucky

And I always thought you couldn't build a Christian theme park! But my friend Miranda just showed me this park the other day! On 800 acres a group of Christian investors will build a Christian theme park, revolving around the Ark of Noah - called: Ark Encounter

And here is the good news: You can sponsor a beam, a peg or a plank!

 I decided to 'like' this project on Facebook!

Step Back

Surrounding yourself with people that have qualities beyond your capabilities is an amazing process. Where once you got stuck in 'the right way of doing things', new people in the team with passions and gifting beyond what you've given up to that point, makes your efforts soar on new heights.

Even thought this sounds easy to do, it's in the ability to 'let go' and 'step back' that makes this process successful. And this is where I have to confess - i too often still stand in the way.

Standing in the way - but learning to step back! The results are amazing!

I want to thank all the guys that made 'Tjeko Container Project' look so very HOT! Now lets put it to work!

New Office for Tjeko

Picking up some speed! Tjeko is getting its OWN office - with our OWN door!

OK - we need to cross trough somebodies office to get there - and somebody might have to pass trough our office to get to his... but we have our OWN office!
WE'll be fixing it up in the next couple of weeks. Come january 1st, and we'll be all SET!

We are in the building of Gouda Media Groep. Soon we'll have our own Google listing :)

t-shirts

Harry and Hen did an amazing fundraiser for 1moreChild in the UK (see blog) and got ALL the children a beatiful t-shirt! I am telling you- it's like we gave them pure gold! Very exciting!

 

 

1moreChild lunch

Eventhough the biggest junk of my time in Uganda is spent meeting people concerning Tjeko, Sunday afternoon was one of the moments I took time to meet with some of the 1moreChild children.
It was great fun to go to a local restaurant for a big meal. After the meal we got to spent sime time sharing stories, lauging and just taking it easy. I start to know more and more of these kids by name, and it is nice to see them grow over the years! It was an afternoon full of laughter :)
