Blessings Abby, Carly, and Family; You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a safe flight(s) and look forward to getting updates via this blog. ;)
YES! Dear Tracy - I'm so happy to hear from you and I certainly to want to "go along" on this trip with you by receiving your blog. I pray that this trip will be as blessed and joyful as your last one was. Beki
Thank you I was delighted to read your every step of this journey. Thank you for helping to keep the kids hopes and dreams to become realities. God bless all of you and may the best of luck to be with you all, always. Once again, thank you for making this happen.
...You're building our hope too..... What a beautiful "project" for a family to embark on . To all contribute and give so endlessly to those you don't know; what a lesson you have taught the world. I pray your family continues these kinds of effort---we are all watching--the US, with all our "blessings", needs to extend to the world. Kudos to Karly and family for this beautiful gesture of love. God be with and bless you all.
what a wonderful ending to a wonderful trip!! I think of how we all have been touched by this journey that was, in reality, so far removed from us. Just think all of the people whos lives you have touched by doing what you have done! Thank you for letting us all be in on this with you and doing all of the leg work. i don't think any of us will forget the way you have taken us through this amazing experience. GREAT WORK!!!!

Thank You! I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to write your descriptions, to add your pictures, to take us along as much as possible on this incredible trip. Thank you for allowing our hearts to be touched vicariously by all that you were experiencing first-hand. Thank you for the generosity of spirit that made you go in the first place, and the generosity of spirit that allowed you learn and to SEE all that is happening, so we could learn and see too.
WOW- what a fantastic culmination of so much hard work! You all must feel so proud. The descriptive journal entry and beautiful photos really captured the joy of your day. Congratulations!! Cyndi
Wow what an amazing experince! The kids looked thrilled to have you there and recieve something so simple as school supplies. It seems like an experience you will remember for a lifetime! Can't wait to see you and hear more about it! Have a safe journey home!!

So Happy for You and PROUD! What a wonderful day for your group! You have been on our minds all day. We said special prayers for all of you today and the kindergarteners and the second graders from Our Lady of Peace went to Mass today to pray for all of you and especially for the children at the new school! We will be eager to see you!
Wow I can't believe the oficers wouldn't let you give FOOD to the community. Oh, well. Its still going to a good cause. I am so excited that (even though I am in Canton) I was a part of this! Carly: Our teacher made us write a nonfiction composition about anything nonfiction to send to some newspaper in hopes that they will publish it. I wrote mine about Kids Building hope.

Hi, Carly!
It's hard to believe that you're halfway around the world - but what an adventure! Just looking at these pictures has been a real eye-opening experience - I hope you can share more with us when you get back. You're doing a wonderful thing!
Have a safe trip home,
