Styrelsen vill tacka alla som var med arrangörsgruppen för allt jobb ni har lagt ned på att ordna den trevliga Riksträffen. Vi vill också tacka alla som bidrog till en lyckad träff genom att t ex hålla workshops, fläta hår, laga mat, spela fotboll, sjunga, bygga och riva tält, bära bord, ordna loppis och lotteri, delta i möten och diskussioner -- och inte minst tack till ALLA som var där för den livliga och positiva stämningen! :-)

Försäljning av loppisprylar, lotter, T-shirts och CD-skivor, samt gåvor i insamlingsbössorna, har gett ett rejält tillskott till vårt utvecklingssamarbete. Vi tackar alla som har handlat och bidragit med prylar, och återkommer med resultatet så snart vi vet hur mycket det blev!

Hälsning från Heidi i Sydafrika

Hey hey Swedish Families,

How I wish that I could stand here in front of you in person, but someone has to take care of all the Swedish families that are currently in sunny but cool Pretoria (5 families at the moment). This should tell you that we are having a good Swedish August as there are also two more coming this month. Some of you might be aware of the fact that we have had a quiet year so far – but when we look at August we get hopeful to reach our projections to fabulous Sweden this year.

To all those families that we have met here in SA already we just want to say it has been such an honor to have been part of your miracle journeys and feel blessed to have played a role in this special way of building forever families.  We can truly say with all honesty that we are blown away with the kind of families we receive from Sverige to adopt our gorgeous SA children. It is just amazing how adoptions centrum understands Abba and Abba’s heart by sending us “perfect Abba families”. I personally feel that I have met friends and my kind of people when I go and welcome you guys in our country. I am looking forward to meet some of you again, when you come for baby nr two or three or just when you come for a visit.

To those families who are waiting and waiting and waiting and ……. I just want to say hang in there, we are aware of your waiting times and belief and Trust with you that the perfect child will be matched with you and that it is God’s will and in His timing. I am looking forward to meet you and welcome you in our Country, take care of you here and already feel honored to be part of this process in your lives.

I did not want to bore you with all sorts of details of how things work here in SA – Adoption Centrum will do that – ha ha.  Just thought to say hello from SA and hope that you all have a great weekend together and celebrate the fact that you are blessed special families God created.  Hope that the summer will not go away too soon.

Big SA hugs, Heidi and Intercountry team Abba Adoptions
