Our Crib

Many of you have asked what my living situation is like. I thought I would try and take you on a virtual tour of our house. Enjoy!


Approaching our house. You can see the walled/gated compound where we live on the left.



The new signs for our programs that just went up last week.


Welcome to our crib. Come on in!


The main hallway when you walk in the front door with our logistics board on the right.

If you turn left at the end of the hallway, it leads to a single bedroom, bathroom and the office/medical supply storage area/guest bedroom pictured below.

From the main hallway if you turned right, you would enter the kitchen (notice our Gadyen Dlo buckets).


Here is our loaded fridge. You can see some of our staples - water, juice, bananas, mangos, tomatoes and Diet Coke (for Elisa, Kara and Courtney's caffeine fix).



Off the kitchen to the right are the rooms we use as offices pictured below.





Another view of the kitchen from one of the office rooms. The door on the left by the stairs leads to........


The room I share with Courtney. Yes, we are spoiled and have an AC unit in our room that we can use during the night.


The door in the back left leads to our bathroom. And no, we don't have a sink or a mirror.

Our shower. Courtney and Elisa got creative with hanging cords in the bathroom to hang towels and a shower curtain.

If you went out the backdoor of the house from the kitchen, here is a view of the backyard.



One of the many little creatures that visit us both inside and outside the house.


More of the backyard. You can see the inverter on the left, and the area where our generator is kept as well as a bathroom and shower area for the security staff in the building on the right.

Going up the stairs, you enter the family room. Off to the right, we have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

On the left, are the tables and chairs built by my friend Roosevelt.


On the back/side of the house, we have a porch. This is the beautiful view walking out onto the porch.


A nice hammock compliments of Jason (a former employee).


The view off the side porch.



If you walk out of the sliding glass door in the family room, we have another large porch on the front of our house.

With an amazing addition compliments of a former employee. Meet Jasonba.

Our table on the front porch where we eat most of our meals.....


And watch the beautiful sunsets.

Now it is time for you to check out our sweet ride - the Land Cruiser.


Leather interior, AC, amphibious 4-wheel drive, & radio.

I showed you our house, our car...our home, but now it is time for you to go.


See you next time on CNP cribs!
