May 2006 - lots of farewells. It was very hard to leave what had been my "home" and "family" for 12 years! Good Ole CCOB!

We were to help get a clinic restarted. We camped there for three months and enjoyed every minute of our time there.
June 2006 - Leaving Namibia, heading for Angola!
The road to Cavango - Average speed 15 miles per hour!!
My Dad, Dr Bob Foster, built the original hospital that was destroyed in the war. So it was his special privilege at 82, to head up the reconstruction project for 6 weeks.Our campsite - pretty luxurios and convenient!!

Dear Dad and MaShelley, what a wonderful overview of the first of many years of service, Lord-willing, in Angola! The pictures and designs are impressive! I love you both and miss you so much!
