Team Work

  • September 18, 2010

Going back home

  • September 16, 2010

This morning we are running around saying “goodbye” to everyone we can. It has been a great trip and were already looking forward to coming back! There will be things to check up on and new things to start as well as new people to meet. It has been

Nutritious Foods

We’re heading home today. Honestly, I want to stay here. I love the culture, the weather, the relaxed lifestyle…but I miss my friends at home and I miss fresh garden veggies. I really enjoyed the food for the first couple of days, but I tend to eat a lot

We were able to carry in a little generator since it was under the fifty pound limit imposed by the airlines. It’s a tiny little thing as generators go but it has already been found useful on its arrival. The airlines had sent it to JFK by mistake so

Who do we help?

  • September 11, 2010

There is so much need all around here. We are only able to touch a limited amount of people with the resources available. It becomes challenging to choose who to help when, if resources were there, we’d help so many more. One thing we notice is that there are
