to Tommy Tommy, Thank you for your moving message....I think you will do great things in your lifetime ahead...and I hope you can return to Tanzania someday to help those in need. If it isn't Tanzania, there are many places/opportunities to make a difference. And, it won't matter when that time comes....may be while you are a young adult and the opportunity may not come for many years. Jim Lumberg was a father of two, successful businessman when he hiked with Teacher and made a promise to help the School....Your time will come! Patty
to Ben Ben, Oh, how I would have loved seeing those animals. Animals in the wild are exquisite....saw a grizzly and cub today while in Yellowstone...and lots of Bison. Hope you guys took some photos of the animals to share.
Have experienced hawkers in northern Africa, Morocco....some were as young as 7!
Enjoy the remainder of your trip....without me!

to Phil Phil, Thanks for sharing your impressions of the St Jude and the boys orphanage. I am looking forward to seeing your photos after you return home. Any chance you would put some on a disk and send them to me? Enjoy the rest of your amazing journey! patty
to Cindy Cindy, You are so very fortunate to have this experience just before you launch yourself out into the world as an adult. Whether you ever get back to Moshi and the school, you will no doubt take your experience/memories and contribute someplace sometime in the future....and maybe it will be back in Africa. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am enjoying all the notes....and wish I could be there with you guys. Patty
to Amanda Did we learn about St. Jude's during Interim? For some reason, your description sounds familiar....is that where Sarah Mills volunteered? Can't wait to see photos that you guys take...and I know you cannot film everyone you see out of courtesy for their privacy. Enjoy the remainder of your time in Tanzania. Patty
to Danny Danny, Enjoyed reading about your little buddy, Calvin. Sounds as if you made a big impact on him....and vice versa. I imagine you will each 'remember' each other's face forever. Wish I were with you guys! Went to Yellowstone this weekend....still a little wintry there....saw a grizzly and yearling today....they were beautiful! Patty
Good Works Glad to hear that you all are doing well...love hearing about your adventures. Even though you all are there for them...they will inpact you far more...
the gift of teaching Annsley, I enjoyed reading your entry for the third day. I especially enjoyed how much you loved teaching the children....great feeling! Some people take naturally to teaching....don't overlook it as a possible future path. Each day of my 36 year teaching career was a pleasure and a challenge! I continue to miss it. And, I am so very envious of your experience in Moshi. Looking forward to your next entry. Patty
hi back! Leah - I loved reading about your first day! Brings tears of joy knowing that you have participated in something so wonderful and generous.
love, lisa
Envious.....and so very proud of you guys! Have just returned to Wyoming and picked up the blogs thus far.....thank you for your news of the children, school and surroundings....for this year, I will have to live through your messages from Moshi......so sorry to not be with you. As I read about you starting some lessons....I am remembering the beautiful books you made in Nov. Have the time of your lives! Warmest Regards, Patty
Two years ago, our junior class at North Shore Country Day School read the book Three Cups of Tea, the story of Greg Mortensonan incredible man who has dedicated his life to the fight for the basic human right of education. It was the type of book that did not allow for an idle readingafter hearing this man’s mission and accomplishments, we were each irresistibly drawn to the thought, “Well we have to do something now.” We became excited to shoulder the responsibility every human has to make a difference in the worldwe just weren’t sure where that difference should be made.
