We love Mail!

Hello again. This is not going to be a long post, but rather a request. If you would like to send us your family Christmas letter, we love staying in touch and would enjoy reading about your 2016. My parents will be visiting in February, so they are the designated mail carriers for this year.

Please send mail to:

John Van Schepen
Attn: Fey Family

I will be posting something later this month or early next, just an overview of our year. Hopefully I'll post something else before that as well!

Love from the Feys

As most of you know by now, this little girl holds a very special place in our hearts. If you have read our blog for long, or followed us on Facebook or Instagram, you would also know that through loving and knowing Amo, we have also come to know and love her family. If you know the back story and want to get to the point, look for the sentence written in blue below and start reading from there!
We first met Amo and her mom, Annah, in January of 2013 at Tshepo ya Bana. Amo had recently turned 2 and Annah was  struggling to care for Amo while finishing school and caring for  her 2 younger sisters and younger brother.


Over the next couple years, we got to know Annah, Grace, Jameson, Johanna and later Grace’s son, Omphile.

She is now with her mama for the weekend and we have Johanna, her younger auntie here with us instead. 
The only source of water for the household has been a faucet in the yard that provides municipal water - except for when it doesn't. There is usually no water available during the day, so the family…

It is Friday morning. I am sitting in our living room watching Amo take 5 minute naps and then wake up full of energy over and over and over again. We are all enjoying our favorite little house guest, but are so excited for her to be in her new home with her family!!! 


Now it is time for an update, and also for another ask. Yes, we met our goal of raising $10,000 to #BuildThemAHome, but as with most building projects we have found some places where we underestimated the cost and other things that we forgot altogether!! So, if you were still thinking of giving, please do! You can use the handy dandy donate button at the top of our blog, or if sending checks is your thing you can:
