Soon to Uganda
God bless you Travis and John, what an inspiration you are to others and to me.... I quite by accident found your blog and want you to know what an absolute joy it's been to read and take in. My husband and I will be departing with 7 others within a few days to Uganda - to build a playground at an orphanage. Take good care and God bless you, Kel Bend OR

Regular people can move mountains!
Your photography, especially of the children bring emotions to their faces. You've done a great job capturing. In a world, where we get so caught up with celebrities and their charitable doings, it's good to know a "regular Joe" is able to accomplish so much. As a child, it was always been my dream to travel to Africa, as an adult, seeing your ability to make a difference in people's lives, the focus of my dream African experience has shifted to "What can I do?" if I was to realize that dream. Thanks for a GREAT page and looking forward to more.

From The Author of this Blog
I received a comment by a man, Nelson, for whom I don't know. He was 'appalled' at my blog. From what I could gather from his comments, he was likely African, but I could not say from which country or of what ethnicity. I respect his feelings that, he writes "America is to blame for the exploitation of Africans during the slave trade" but I disagree that my blog is racist or in any way disrepectful to the African peoples. Nelson must understand that I was visiting a country that I had only envisioned from textbooks, magazines and television. My blog reflects both my visions of Africa and emotions it stirred. I might also remind Nelson that his comments were ignorant to who I am and why I traveled to Africa to begin with. His harsh language of "stupidity" and "racist" left me puzzled as to what it is that Nelson is feeling. Perhaps if he shared the same kindness, forgiveness and enlightenment I have experienced, he would see the world and those that present themselves humanely to others. I wish him peace and hope he finds his way. -Johnny Moretti

WOW
Hey, man...I'm jealous. As you're well aware, to see the Pyramids is my lifelong dream. My living room wall above my couch has been intentionally left bare, awaiting one of your enlarged framed photos...

Thanks for sharing.
I found the story you shared so interesting. My students and families enjoyed contributing to the items that Travis brought. They are enjoying photos too. (I don't think I'll show them the rifle pics though). John, you have had a tremendous impact on Travis in these past months. I know his life has changed because of these experiences. Thank you for looking after him. May your good return to you many times over because of your efforts. The world is a better place today because of what you two and your team have done.

Tears
Knowing what a tremendous adventure this has been for you, emotionally as well as physically, your story of truth brought tears to my own eyes. If I were twenty years younger with two good knees, I would have liked to join you in your kind and giving endeavors. Keep the faith of the ages, and continue the good and beautiful work you are doing, Johnny. Travis, too.

To Be...
No, no, he didn't practice love by having his back turned when the bee stole a sip of coffee. That was just plain ignorance. He still has love to try.

hilarious
The bee story is hilarious. There is a similar story going on in our room with 'the early morning fruit fly'. Preferably he/she comes hovering right in front of my eyes that are fixed on the computer screen. I can snap at it as much as I want, like the bee, it will always win. Your brother seems to have the same sense of humor as you have. A great sense of humor fyi but without any doubt you knew that already.

a big coincidence
Mister Soprano, what a surprise! Browsing the internet for the opening hours of the immigration in Ranong we bumped into your blog. So apparently you started working on the big new project in Bangkok. We wish you lots of success and if we make it to Bangkok from Phuket Town somewhere in the near future we'll let you know. It would be nice to catch up with you. Take good care of yourself and of all the people that surround you. Silvie and Karel

THANK YOU, Dr. DeBerg for your donation
Thank you Dr. DeBerg for your comment in this blog. It has been a privilege to be able to travel this globe and connect with those in need. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would venture out in this capacity. Your donation is a welcome gesture and much appreciated. It will go directly to those I encounter in my travels. For those that wish to take your challenge to match your donation, they can do so through a United Nations and US Congress recognized NGO named Airline Ambassadors International (www.airlineamb.org). There is complete accountability for the funds I receive through their organization, as I have a close relationship with them and their projects. Please be sure to include a note that the donation is to be used for the "Operation Playground" fund. It will make its way directly to fund projects in which I oversee. For insight, Airline Ambassadors Int'l has Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa and Dr. Patch Adams (Robin Williams made him more famous with his movie of the same name) of the Gezundheit Institute among their Board of Directors. Once again, Curt, thanks and can't wait to see you and the gang again upon my return! - - - Johnny Moretti, blog writer.
