From Alice by way of Betsy

My favorite quote from Alice in Wonderland reads,
“There is no use trying,” said Alice; “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“ I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”—Lewis Carroll
I have discovered that the Queen is correct. Since I began working with Mercy Care School , many impossible things are happening.
As our 21 travelers embark today on their great adventure, they will be keeping us posted on the “impossible things” that continue to happen in one of the worst slums on the planet. Mathare Valley means “Valley of Hopelessness.” When they look into the eyes of our children, they will see that a place of great hope has been created.
