Meet Bee


Meet Bee. Randy fell in love with this six year old little boy that lives at a children's home in Cambodia. He was sold by his parents to a family struggling with infertility for $50 US dollars. The adopted mom did not bond with Bee (can you even imagine not bonding with those eyes) and then later conceived a child on her own. She no longer wanted Bee and made several unsuccessful attempts to end his life. Randy said that his little legs were so scarred and beat up, showing signs of his early hard life. I think Randy left his heart in Cambodia and definitely with Bee. God must have mighty plans for this beautiful little one. We are thankful he is safe and living at Bykota House.

I think it broke Randy's heart to hold this precious child on his lap and realize he was holding a six year old without a Dad. Every child deserves a forever family. I want to write a new song - How would it go?.......hmmmm........You will know we are Christians by the orphans we support.

Vietnam Bicycles!



Randy just spent the last couple of weeks in Cambodia and Vietnam. While in Vietnam he was able to take pictures of the bicycles purchased through the Touch A Life Vietnam Bike fund headed up by Aimee Molloy.

Randy enjoyed spending time with the BYKOTA kids in Cambodia and Touch A Life kids in Vietnam. Once again he was reminded that there is nothing more important in life than seeing that these kids have plenty to eat, a roof over their head - and oh yes, a good bicycle to ride to school.

Eight that prove that one is indeed greater than none



This week Randy and I have been in New York working with Aimee on the book. As I have mentioned earlier on the blog there are eight amazing young women that are changing the world through making jewelry. They are using the money they raise to rescue children out of slavery in Ghana, West Africa. To date they have rescued eight children off Lake Volta. YEAH!

We had a great night of pasta and sharing stories. They are a blast and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for these FREEDOM FIGHTERS from Long Island.
