It has been another beautiful, sunny day in Freetown. The rainy season is nearly over, so there have been some wonderful days of sunshine lately. Now that elections are over it is safe to travel up-country, to the villages! Some of the CHASL staff and I are traveling all next week to different villages to visit their medical clinics. At each medical clinic we are going to introduce the program we are beginning, The Baby Friendly Initiative which will officially begin October 1. Then, on Thursday we will arrive in Taiama for my first peanut butter supplement production/ distribution opportunity! I am so excited that it is finally time to begin doing the peanut butter clinic! I will have no access to the internet all this week, but will blog how everything goes when I get back on Monday or Tuesday. I have also put together a newsletter. I will be sending this out via email to my supporters. If you do not know if I have your email address to send you a newsletter, then post your email on my blog or email the address to me at chelsearingel@aol.com. May your lives be filled with God's peace, presence and faithfulness.

Hi Chelsea:

We will be praying for you and re-living prior experiences as you prepare to go up country to the village clinics this next week. You will see first hand the need in the interior of the country as you have already witnessed the great need in the capitol. We are excited and blessed knowing you will be working with the PBC in Taiama and the new initiative in the other villages.

God Bless You,

Joe

Hello Chelsea,
Miachel told me about you, and I am looking forward to reading all of your vivid and beautifully detailed accounts of your mission to Sierra Leone. I have traveled in Zimbabwe and Tanzania and am fascinated by Africa. You are serving as an example to all who know you of the goodness of true Christianity. As a philosopher wrote, "If I see evil in the world and do nothing about it, I have chosen evil," you have chosen to convey hope and meaning to the people with whom you are working.

Wishing you good health and happiness,

Dr. McDonald
