Lots of exciting things to share, not least this month the news and Congratulations to our Trustee Nia, who gave birth to Joshua Richard Price, 7lb 2oz, on March 21^st. Mother and baby are well and we wish them God’s Blessing for the future. March has been particularly busy with us holding Smiles Conferences in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The first time we went regional which was a good decision having increased attendees significantly to more than double our usual Conference held just in England in previous years. It was wonderful to have so many special guests from Romania speaking at the Conferences: Jeni, Marius & Otilia attended England Georgi, Angela & Dana attended Scotland & Northern Ireland Of course Maria attended all Conferences to keep an eye on her Romanian team! Thank you to those who attended the Conferences and made the events such a success. We are excited by the response to our Educational Challenge in May. We have teachers from England and Scotland already on-board. We hope to soon have the entire United Kingdom represented and maybe one or two from America. Please share this fantastic opportunity for teachers to make the trip. Just £150 / $300 plus air-flight. Maybe they could do the Challenge and then stay on for the first of our summer Mission Trips beginning June 2^nd. Now there‘s a thought! Next week we begin our 2007 Mission Trip season with the first trip starting April 7^th. We have so many fantastic projects for Mission Trippers to work on this year. The May 5th trip is on a Special Price Reduction so that could be a great opportunity not to miss. Many of the Summer Trips are now full and others getting close to full so give the office a call to talk through how you can get involved in this Life Changing Experience. As we turn the month – April 4^th is a special day for Smiles Romania. We welcome 2 new missionaries to the work of Smiles in the field. Wendy Justice – a nurse and teacher who will work with the Medical team, the School and at the Cihei Children’s Centre. Brian Tarr – a qualified electrician and who will work with our Construction team. We are so thankful to Wendy and Brian for their commitment to Smiles and their refreshing servant spirit for teamwork and focus on what Smiles is doing with God’s Power for so many in need of His Love. Pray for them as they settle into life in Cihei and around our projects. That should be enough to go on with for now. We look forward to keeping in touch and hope to see you in Romania or on our travels. Thank you for your support. God Bless The Smiles Foundation
