Becoming a mother even when planning to do so and having a partner is tough enough, never mind being so young with a father that is not around. This new program along with the other programs that Papillon runs gives those in need, at least a fighting chance.
A program for the boys is a great idea as I feel that most times they are the ones to apply the pressure to these young girls in the first place.
Good luck with these new programs, it sounds like you've got some wonderful people involved in supporting this project.

Thank you and we can only hope and pray that the youngsters will come to their senses. It is a very tricky situation, as one has to investigate the circumstances of each child in depth, and we are after the best persons with the experience to do this. So far, the project for the girls that the Papillon chairlady runs are progressing very well with her expert volunteer staff, mainly because the project is community owned. They already done 84 girls, who will hopefully become leaders in their own communities, as they have all of the support from the project leaders.
I plan to do the same, and by grace, I already have a few very good souls gathered. If one wants to run a protect, and it is in His will, then the doors will be opened.
Papillon runs a behind the scenes support role, as we are determined that the projects must be community owned, so we supply the funds for the food and drinks at all of the workshops.

Having already taken 84 girls under the wings of dedicated people who decided to get involved with this new program is remarkable. The need for this program must be off of the charts.
For these young girls to become community leaders at some point down the road would be a wonderful thing to see.

Community-owned, with Papilloncharity providing the funds, what a winning combination.

I hope you have as much success with the program that will address the young men who are the other half of the equation.

Peace my friend.

We're headed to Florida come the 14th of this month. We will be bringing our laptop with us, so once we get settled in we'll stay in touch.

Thank you for the great message, and the idea is that once the girls go back into their communities, that they will transfer their skills to other girls.

I avoid the limelight like the plague, as the best is for the team to get on with what they are doing, and we play only a minor role.
The same will apply in the new program for the boys, and it depends solely on the quality and experience of the volunteer souls that will be running to project.

Peace also to you guys.

I thought that you guys were now back from another trip? Florida sounds like a nice place and we of course wish you guys safe travels.

Once these girls do return to the community, now you have many others out there trying to lend a hand. There is nothing more convincing than learning from someone who has been there 1st hand.

Marian and yourself always have your heart in the right place, never looking for anything more than to help others.

Finding the people who have the right credentials and whose only motive is to help others may be a tall order, but great things don't just happen by chance they happen with determination and commitment to a cause.

We did just get back from NJ, and now it's time to head to warmer weather. Robin is getting a little touch of Cabin Fever.

Give my regards to Marian and we wish you nothing but continued success with all you have on your plate.

Oh yes, thank you and for lack of a better word, we like to work from the inside out. Plant the seeds and then they will grow.

We believe that it is the purpose of human life. To help others, and not to seek for glory, as you know who the glory belongs to.

So right, a tall order indeed, but if it's in His will, then the doors will be opened. So, let's see how it goes, and I hope that it will work out similar to the coding project.

Ah, yes, now I remember and now Lady Robin, wants to fly to warmer places !LOL

Marian sends her love and thank you for your kind wishes.

Your guy's dedication to those in need without having to be in the spotlight is a true testament to the type of folks the both of you are.

One of my favorite lines in Desiderata is, Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence. This single line is one that I have tried to abide by, as life marches on.

Marian said that she senses a great deal of peace when I read some of our conversations to her, and it's true, as you and your lady exudes that calm peace. That is a great line in the Desiderata to live by, and there is great strength in silence.

So, it is also a great testament about who you guys are, and we are honored to have you guys as true friends.

True friends who have never met face to face. Meeting you and Matian would be one of highlights of our lives.

If I would ever get the courage to travel abroad, South Africa would be where I would love to go. Now, Robin is a whole different story, all I would have to do is mention it and she would have the bags packed and the travel arrangements made the same day.

As I get older I find myself open to many things that in the past I would never consider.

ONE NEVER KNOWS!

Thank you and I assure you that it will also be the highlight of our lives to meet the two of you.

Marian was giggling when I told her about Robin being a totally different story, as she is the same. I also just have to mention the word travel, or even trip to alert all of her senses !LOL

You have been through a lot in your life my friend, and now it's that golden period to allow the Lord's grace to wash over you.

There is One who knows and if it is meant to be, then it will be. If not, then it was not meant to be.
Such is life.

Blessings to all of you.
