Background
This blog is a newsletter for our family and friends, and a record for us, of our one year of volunteer service in Cameroon. We work with an NGO network named RELUFA, and with the Presbyterian Church. Ann is writing articles and Chris is programming and teaching. We plan to return home to San Francisco in October 2008.

Merry Christmas to you as well. I mark that your Christmas evening is likely winding down just now, while ours approaches midday. Also, allow me to wish you a Happy New Year, though I estimate I shall do so again as the time draws near. Last - but certainly far from least - I seem to recall something about an anniversary around this time, though I suspect a few days from now. Can't recall if it involves either of you, but it somehow seems fitting that I should put mention of it herein. Well, Happy Anniversary, too - for what it's worth. :)
Merry Christmas from around the world!
And beyond the stars
