A couple of months ago I got this harebrained idea to send pens over to Africa, why, because it sounded like a great idea. The amazing part is that I run into my friend Justin Fox who happens to support a Heidi Baker orphanage in Africa. Laura Anderson is volunteer missionary who has spent the last four years living and working with 45 boys, ages 5-11,in a children’s center in Maputo, Mozambique!
After a few emails, Laura sends me a picture of a bunch of happy boys holding up their donated pens to be glued to the Mercedes Pens. So I rushed down to the post office on my lunch and sent about 100 brand “new” pens to arrive in South Africa in about 4 weeks, after all I did promise to send pens.
When the pens arrive, I will find a place for them on the Mercedes Pens.
Take a picture of them and send it back so the boys can see their pens proudly displayed on the Pen Car. I don’t know who is more excited about it, the boys or me!!!
Someone once said “That small things done with great love, changes the world”
I believe that with all my heart, and that is why I continue to work and drive this wacky car called the “Mercedes Pens”.
