One month and counting

Bonjou!
When I began planning for Haiti, it seemed so far away but the time is approaching fast.  I am getting great support from my family and friends, which is incredible.   I am beginning to work on packing and gathering donations for the orphanage. The question I hear from lots of people when they learn that I am going on this journey is   WHY ?? My answer is because I am able to go and I hope to help in some small way.  I have been very fortunate in my life; my family is number one, the children I have worked with over the years and the wonderful things I have been able experience through friends and travel. I am lucky!  Because of all that I believe that we should continue to grow and learn in as many ways as we can in our lives. I am sure there will be things ahead of me on this journey that I can't even imagine as I sit here in my home.
more to come
