We have booked our flights to Tanzania!! We fly out of Vancouver BC on July 21 and arrive in Dar es Salaam July 23 and finally in Iringa on the 24th!!

That's only 4 weeks away and we have a lot to do before we can board that plane! We are spending some time with both our sides of the family (which includes a roadtrip to Fort St. John), packing and selling and storing and getting rid of stuff, and putting things in order for our time away.

We are about 97% supported so we are still looking for a few people to join our support team.

We have good flights, just over 21hrs flying time plus stopovers in Toronto and Amsterdam. Then there's a 10 hour drive from Dar es Salaam to Iringa. So about 4 days of travel. Anyone want to come visit?!

Matching Campaign update:

• $395/month already matched! $250/month left to be matched! (that would take only 5 people at $50/month)
• Matching funds have grown from $505 to $645/month!

Our supporters have put up $645/month to be matched by new donors joining our Support Team! That's nearly 10% of our budget to be matched by new supporters to bring us up to 100% Support!

Would you help the VanWoerdens get fully supported so they can book their tickets by the end of the month? 

Your monthly gift of $10, $25, or $50 makes a huge difference! Thank you!
Matching opportunity ends June 30.

Our goal is to raise 100% of our support by the end of June!! And with this exciting new opportunity that may be possible yet!

Every dollar you give will be matched dollar for dollar!

From now until the end of June, every new monthly donation will be matched dollar for dollar by a group of supporters who are committed to seeing our family get to Tanzania fully supported.

Without this matching campaign we are at 80% of our support. But if every dollar available is matched in this campaign, we will be at 95% of our support -- so close to our goal of reaching 100% by the end of June!! Half of that is already pledged, as long as it is matched up by new donations...

If you're like a lot of other people, you have probably thought your $10 or $20 per month is just not going to make a difference. But we're here to tell you that it does make a difference and especially now that every dollar you give will be doubled! 

$10 = $20 | $30 = $60 | $50 = $100 | $200 = $400

(on monthly/regular donations, not one time gifts)

So, here it is again, every donation matched dollar for dollar on all new monthly or regular donations, up to $505/month until June 30!

We're counting down the days but still have to come up with some numbers to reach our goal of 100% support by the end of June. 

Exciting new announcement coming up on Sunday!
