Today Brother Gentry was the guest speaker for a fundraiser at the Early Childhood Development Center in Malawi. Thandie's Aunt Mary is on the board of trustees for these preschools. Thandie said that Brother Gentry did a great job, the crowd was touched. Eleven children from Good Samaritan came to the preschool and helped clean and do landscaping. They worked very hard and Thandie was so proud of them. This fundraiser attracted media attention. Brother Gentry was interviewed on the radio and for the newspaper. The eleven children from Good Samaritan were interviewed on Malawi television. The children were not coached what to say, but gave very touching answers. They stated that it was a blessing to serve and help others.
Side notes: All the children at Good Samaritan are feeling well. Wonderful, who previously lost his fingernail to a terrible infection in November, is now growing a new one. Brother Gentry's house phone has been repaired, although I have been unable to get through. The care package I sent on March 14th has not yet arrived.
Peace had her braids removed this week. Her hair is now "resting". She was hesitant to have them removed, because she was so happy with the way it turned out, especially the curls on the ends. It has been over two months, so they needed to come out or they were at risk at falling out, taking her natural hair with it.
Peace getting her braids on February 23rd in San Diego
The curls Peace loved.

Does Bro. Gentry have a e-mail account?
No, he doesn't. His daughters both have accounts and will pass the info along to him. His favorite mode of communication is the fax machine :)
