Honduras 2012 - Final Thoughts

July 13th 2012
So I have been home for almost a week now, and while it is nice to be back in the air conditioning, I think often of my experiences in Honduras. My time there helping others will always remain an important part of me, as well as the families and friends that have touched my life. My mosquito bites and sunburn are a constant reminder of an unforgettable week, and I love that I already have many Honduran friends on Facebook. My last day in Honduras was Saturday. I was psyched to wear my new soccer jersey that I had bought at the market on Thursday. While eating my breakfast, Sentella came in to visit, and excitedly I picked her up and passed my camera off for a picture. I guess she was excited too, as she ... read more

Two days from now I will be arriving in Honduras. I can't believe the time is almost here! I have everything I need (I think) and my clothing is being pre-treated for protection against skeeters and buggies. Vaccinations are up-to-date, preventive medication picked up, and I have my travellers insurance. I would also like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the following people who have helped to support my effort in raising money for Villa Soleada Elementary School and those who contributed to my trip. I have raised close to $600! Michelle and David Rothstein Art and Janyce Katz Randy and Cris Katz Bridget and Mike Baill Eileen and Mark Cramer Emily and Jeff Levi Priscilla Taylor Kim Stackhouse Laura North Alec Alterman Dino Gatsoulas Meghan Walter Andrea and Don Glasgow Donna Porwancher Rhona and ... read more

Things are finally starting to come together! I have almost everything I need for my trip, now just need to pack it all! My donation bag of school supplies is bursting at the seams, but I can't wait to give all of the markers, colored pencils, crayons, folders, etc to the kiddos in El Progreso. I also have a stack of letters that my 7th graders wrote to the children in Honduras. I have posted some pictures below.... read more

Travelling up the Atlantic Coast of the USA

Good evening everyone, another update for you! We are in a little hotel in a small place called Lawrenceville after a busy and very picturesque few days along the Atlantic Coast. After a very tedious three hours spent in a Washington Laundromat we managed to get on the road and head for Ocean City, on a small penisular South East of Washington. It was a really nice drive through the Maryland and Delaware countryside and we passed a lot of small farmers stalls selling fruit and veg and lots of small, typical American neighbourhoods (they are so patriotic with almost every house flying a stars and stripes flag or three from their porches!) Another highlight was crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge onto Kent Island , it was over 4 miles long and its quite an experience ... read more
