Emmanuel has been rescued!!

George called today to let us know that Emmanuel and one other boy have been rescued and are now safe and sound at his house.

He said that after they finished their first big meal he gave them each a piece of candy. They ate a portion of the candy and then put the rest away to save for later. Soon they will learn that they don't have to worry about their next meal.

He also said that they had made arrangements to rescue Kwasi and Moses (and one other boy), but was calling to see if we would be able to rescue two girls (8 and 10) who are also being kept on this island. We said of course, which means that soon six new kids from the lake will now be living a life they never dreamed existed.

Thanks to all of you who have helped make this possible.

As a reminder, here is Emmanuel's photo. I can't wait to get a new one of him with a big smile on his face.
