"Lights, Oven, Action"

 

We finally have electricity at our Village of Hope.  After waiting over a year from when we paid Zesko (the electric company), their work is done, the lines are run to the houses, and Kimberly can cook on a stove.  They can use their refrigerator for cooling things instead of as another cupboard.  What a difference - to have more lights, be able to use the computer, cool and cook food, play music on CD players, and much more.  The lack of electricity made all of us more aware of how much our lives in the states depend on electricity and how most of the world lives not having electricity.  It will be hard to take it for granted.
