Visa Awarded

The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta has awarded Tison and Hendra a visa to come to the U.S. This is really good news for all of us--many people have worked on making this possible. This is a major step forward. Tison and Hendra, his escort, will be in Alaska sometime in the second week of December. This will be a wonderful year for Tison--he will be given all the medical treatment needed to repair his burn injuries. Tison will be going to private school while he is here. He will learn a lot and make some friends. I want to thank everyone who had a part in making this possible.
