…we’re moving to Sierra Leone at the end of the summer! After a decade of wanting to move overseas to do anti-trafficking work it feels right to be moving in this direction.

Right, but still overwhelming.

Each day we have hours of work to do in order to make the move happen: figuring out homeschooling cirriculum, getting international insurance, sharing our vision with friends (that part is fun!), skyping with our boss to nail down job and program descriptions and finding water filters for our home. Phew. I need to go have a rest.

This will be a place for you to stay up to date on what’s going on with the Orranges and the project we’re joining in Sierra Leone.

The project.

That’s the really important stuff. Not these other details. The project is why we are going after all. We Orranges do love a good adventure, but usually the 1 day type of adventure, not the 3-4 year type. But this work is our motivation.

Healing, hope, restoration, life.

Beauty from ashes.

That is why we are going.
