wow Lo
You are one amazing young woman. You have touched these peoples lives in tremendous ways and they see the gifts you have to offer. Keep up the super work. It is amazing that at such a young age you have found your calling.

Wow- up and running Way to go Loretta. Glad to hear all is well with you as you share and help people achieve their dreams and goals. It seems a whirlwind, but as you have already noted lives change with encouragement and tools to overcome personal and social hurdles. Love your entries. Keep up the great job. All's well at BYRC and we are looking forward to the summer. There is still snow on Grouse Mountain but the trees in blossom have filled the air with a lovely perfume. Looking forward to your next entry. Janice
SO glad you are safe! First of all, I am relieved that you are safe and did not get hurt during the mugging attempt, secondary, that your necklace is with you, as I know how dear it is to your heart.
It's really touching to read about the difference you are making in these peoples lives, even if you are there for such a short period of time. You are giving them hope, and that is likely something most people start to lack in the slums... but the only thing that will keep them alive. It's really interesting learning about the people there and how they live. You are strong to be able to witness it, I don't know if I could handle it.
Beautiful pictures by the way. Keep em coming.
Best of karma throughout the remainder of your stay,
Angelina
YOu have great courage Wow. I admire your courage and pray God is with you and keeps you safe in you travels. I wish you all the best in all that you do. Keep in touch. Carmela
Amazing! Loretta, you really are an inspiration!
Your pics look great, and I am looking forward to following your incredible journey.
I can't wait to see some nature shots, and hopefully some elephants!
rock on, sister.
be safe!

Sending good karma your way! Well I am definitely happy to hear you are having a good time thus far. Amsterdam is definitely fun, did you check out the Grasshopper Cafe? It's the one just on the border of the Red Light District. I am actually glad they plan to put an end to that soon as so many women are being trafficked there against their well. But all in all, Holland is pretty cool. I totally know what you mean about Schipol airport being chaotic. When I went to Spain my flight was postponed for two hours and that place was a MAZE.
Good luck on your journey Loretta. I wish you good health, safety, and the best of karma.
Can't wait to see your next update =)
Congratulations Loretta Good luck in all your endeavors. Im sure you will not only be a great benefit to others, but will also get back great satisfaction.
Very proud of you,
Carmela
