(photos: WildHopeInternational Team)My husband's aunt and uncle live in Africa with their 4 children. This is a picture of them shortly after their move to Arusha, Tanzania. They have started an amazing organization called Wild Hope International. This is a quote from their blog introduction:
"Wild Hope International is responding to issues of poverty, HIV/AIDS, poor education, lack of resources and spiritual hunger. We like micro-enterprise and dignity-producing methodology. We love seeing people become all God intended them to be. We're also interested in caring for and enjoying God's good Creation. Wild Hope is a faith-based, registered non-profit organization formed by a group of friends with long-term experience in Africa.
Wild Hope, P.O. Box 40576, Pasadena, CA, 91114"
They are an inspiring family with an incredible sense of adventure and a finger on the pulse of God. They live loud with obvious belief in the BIGNESS of God, that He CAN do all things.
One recent post from their blog includes a YouTube Clip of Bono's award-acceptance speech. I want to share it.

what cool family to have :)
i look forward to looking at the link to their organization...really awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing about your very special family. Our own family RIGHT NOW is looking for a way to spend a month or so in Africa....do you think they are crazy enough to want us? ;-) Would there be anything we could do to serve?
Just popping back to say I've just spent the last half hour at WildHope!
I am encouraged and enthused.
Rach!
Peter and Tammy are some of the most hospitable people we know. AND some of the wildest/craziest... open to anything couples. So, there is a good chance they would be more than glad to have you. I know they often host groups of people, but I am not sure what sort of hands-on needs they have right now.
The only thing is that they are on furlough in California as I write. I'm not sure for how long. I have a hunch they will be returning to Africa in late summer. Feel free to contact them on their blog, or let me know what you think and I can pass on a phone number.
fun!
I left a probably-too-long comment on one fo their first blog posts...if they find it, it'll be a miracle!
