Wonderful update

For everyone following this story and event, I must let you know the incredible events of today. I met with the Director of the Women's shelter this morning and her support staff. IT WAS AMAZING!
After some wonderful sweet soft yellow dates and arabic coffee, we sat together from different countries and dressed very differently but had the same goal. We came up with some wonderful ideas for the event. The victims in the shelters do arts and crafts which will now be on sale at the event. So, they are helping themselves along with us.
We are getting the television company involved (unnamed until confirmed). I got an opportunity to meet some of the children at the shelter and heard their stories. I will only tell you that two of them were sold by their fathers into prostitution. They are 14 and 15. That gives you an idea of what this event is trying to do. To bring awareness, to bring hope to those who don't know that they have a place to go. To give those who want to volunteer and make a difference a place to do so. To let expats know that when they leave the country unexpectedly or can't find someone to take the things left behind, there is a place that they can call and donate the items rather than leave it for the landlords to profit from.
If you plan to attend this event, please, please, confirm it with me RSVP. It's very important that I get at least an idea of how many ppl are really going to be there, so I can arrange the catering, etc.
If you want to volunteer or donate items some of the things that are being asked for are books in ALL languages. Even old magazines. If someone wants to volunteer for the center teaching PE, arts/crafts, ping pong, swimming lessons, cooking skills, education in any capacity, or want to be a part of the team, please contact me.
After I left the center, I went for lunch. Randomly picked a place. And in walked three men wearing tshirts that say Events Management! Talk about being in the right place at the right time? Which doesn't even surprise me anymore, because it has happened throughout this whole journey. Of course, I immediately approached them and told them what I am trying to do and if they could give me any advice. They asked me what did I need? Stages built? Platforms? Advertising? OMG! Yes, yes, yes........so, as everything else that has happened up to now, God has put me in the right place at the right time and it started with a little beautiful girl I call April.
