Prior to Kendall's baptism, Kendall enjoyed walking around the front part of the Cathedral. She especially liked the kneeling pads on the altar rail.

Article about the Beekeeping Project, "Busy Bees," to be done in Ghana, West Africa in 2006.

This picture is of some of the crew wearing the beekeeping hats donated for this project. (check out the ship - Africa Mercy behind them)

The Busy Bees Project (Proposal) is a micro-enterprise concept and may train up to 10 women in 8 villages (80 women total) to keep bees and operate a honey farm of 10 hives.

The boots in the picture to the right have also been donated to this project.
