A bit more information -

Working directly with 410 Bridge on this trip, we are still in the process of deciding what community and what project we'll be focused on. But the following are confirmed - ALWAYS remembering though that flexibility is the watchword!!

Departure: From Atlanta - Thursday afternoon October 15th for Nairobi. We'll travel through Amsterdam or other major European city as arrangements dictate.

Return: We'll fly out of Nairobi late evening the 24th - to arrive in Atlanta on Sunday the 25th.

Passport: You will need a current/valid passport of course. IF your passport expires this year - get it renewed ASAP - if your children are coming along, they'll need their own as they cannot travel "under" yours...

Vaccines/Shots: The CDC is the best place to start when considering the vaccinations you may need - http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/destinationKenya.aspx. We'll coach on this as well - key thing is - get your history of vaccinations - know them and keep track of them!! You'll probably want to go back...and won't have to do a bunch of 'em again!

Raising Support: Our focus is on people - not money - but money's required. Build a list of people you know - EVERYONE - people want to be a part of something GREATER than they - they just don't get the invitation very often!! This is your chance to invite them to being a part of something big... 25 - 30 - 50 - maybe a 100 people to support you! A different way to think about it!

Who? You...plus a friend...a husband/wife...teen children with a parent...if you've heard anyone ever say they feel the tug but don't know how?!? Connect them in...

Initial Deposit: We do need $150 as the initial deposit for the trip - a check made out to 410 Bridge and mailed to C Zirkle - 14275 Thompson Road, Alpharetta GA 30004.

The People: All of the 410 Bridge team speak English as do most of the people you will meet - so communication is easy.

You will have the opportunity to interact with local leaders, community members, and many children throughout the week. On the back end of the trip you will enjoy a safari day at a Kenyan national park where you will see a variety of animals while enjoying the Kenyan landscape. More detail will be provided as we get closer to the trip dates. This will be a life-changing week, serving and building relationships with our brothers and sisters in Kenya!

There are a lot more questions to be answered - stay tuned - forward this blog - suggest friends to Clayton Zirkle at FaceBook - connect people - we all want to be connected...!
