Have you seen her? She’s the new girl on the block and she looks spectacular. “She” is not a resident or a caregiver. “She” is our Crossroads at Lakewood van! If you haven’t been outside lately, you may have missed her. But our van went downtown as a “plain Jane,” and came back as a “beautiful Betty.” Our friends at Colorado Signs performed what is called a wrap with artwork they designed especially for us. So now when you enjoy a trip around town, whether it’s to the Red Rocks, or to see fireworks or go see Christmas lights, you’ll be driving in style.
Zambia. It sounds so distant. And it is. But it isn’t too far for Maranatha Volunteers International to make a resounding difference in the lives of school children in this South-Central African country. Crews recently finished transforming the Liumba Adventist School in the nation’s western province. The campus was old and dilapidated, but now boasts beautiful, strong buildings. Liumba’s first phase included the renovation of existing classrooms, and the construction of new classrooms, bathroom blocks, and a water well. “[The upgraded campus] got the attention of everyone in the entire region,” recalled Maranatha’s country director for Zambia, David Woods. For students who started coming from towns as far as 30 kilometers away, a new girls dorm was built within the safety of the secure campus. “[Students] are so excited about the new dorm, bunk beds, mattresses, sheets, blankets, and pillows,” said Woods.

Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman—already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet—who insisted he didn’t need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. “I don’t know,” he said. “She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.”
