| 21st January 2008 Erin-Marie | Happy New Year to you Ash! - From: Happy - Delayed - New Year! Hey Ashley! Happy New Year to you as well. It really is sad how much we take forgranted over here in the "1st world" eh? Sometimes I think that everyone over here, whether spoiled or not, whether rich or poor, should take a trip to the "3rd world" just so they/we can really appreciate how good we have it and how much help is needed over there. Anyways, I'm glad you had a marvelous time in Spain and Morocco. You deserved it! Only a couple/few (?) more months left for you! You must be excited to come home. Make sure you enjoy yourself while you are there, which I'm sure you are, because before you know it you will be back here and be thinking "what was all the rush to come home for?" Keep the entries and the pics coming as they are great to see! Talk to you soon and thanks for the facebook message! |
| 22nd December 2007 Sophia Weaver | Self-care - From: A Moment of Truth. Ashley, I did not think your last entry sounded *holier than thou*, I understood exactly what you were trying to communicate. You are correct in stating that you will never be able to fully process it all til you are back. I was in the SL for 10 days last March, saw many of the things you did and to this date, I am still processing all I expereinced. Don't be too hard on yourself. This entry is reflective and sumises that your journey is a deep one. Remember the self-care. It is important that you take care of your emotional health too. There are no easy answers to the questions you posed. The solutions may seem simple to those who are not directly involved or do not understand the complexities of life in the country of Sierra Leone. You sound discouraged my friend. Take it easy, be gentle with yourself... |

| 19th November 2007 Jeff LeBlanc | - From: Kabala. Amazing! it seems that you are living my dream, minus the bugs of course. I feel at times that the academics are getting to me and I need to just break free, so I am living vicariously through you. Keep me posted, and may the light of Christ guide your steps. Shalom |
| 16th November 2007 Erin-Marie | - From: Kabala Second Time Around... Hey Ashley! Wow the kids are just SO adorable. You just want to hug them all (or maybe you did!). Hope all continues to go well. When do you come home? Must be some what soon because the time has been flying by! Do you find it is going fast for you? |

| 6th November 2007 Andrew Chomik | - From: Routine My god Ashley, you are so far removed from "Barbie" status, you're doing what most people only read about on the newsstands. Keep up the good work!! |

| 1st November 2007 Erin-Marie | oh my - From: What a Week! Hey Ashley! I just love reading your blog. So sorry to hear about your food poisoning though. It is crazy how you just assume something will be fine to eat and then BAM you are wrong! I have never had food poisoning myself but I have been with girls on various missions/soccer trips who have and it is not a pretty sight! Glad to hear you are still doing well and enjoying yourself. Homesick at all? ANyways, I look forward to your future entries! Bye! |

| 22nd October 2007 Russ Collin | Love reading your entries! - From: Kabala. Haven't talked to you in ages, but I stumbled upon your blog from facebook - Love reading about your adventures in Sierra Leone! I think it's really great you're there for a good cause, too. Amazing pictures, and I laughed at the toned-legs comment. ;) I'm graduating from Ryerson this spring (in Urban Planning) and I may do a CIDA-sponsored internship in Uganda or Mozambique...we will see. Stay well - and keep posting your entries! Russ |

I read this journal entry about 5 times! and every time I cried. I am so proud of you and what you are doing! you are an inspiration to everyone! ... your sister Katie PS. Looks of the most beatiful barbie (w/ a more proportioned body) and the strength of a super hero :).... and the heart and soul of an angel ! The perfect combination |
| 5th October 2007 Erin-Marie | - From: The Beach... Hey Ashley! It sounds like you truly are having a great time. It is really amazing to see how God works in peoples' lives eh? And how happy they are and they pretty much have nothing. All they need is God and each other and you can definitely tell. I can only imagine how hot it is there as when I was in Thailand it was extremely humid as well and you are even closer to the equator! Keep the stories coming as I love to hear them. Have fun and keep safe!!! |
