The team is leaving on Feb. 13, so less than 2 weeks to go. Our family has been a little bit busier this year & that has resulted in less updates to this blog. But here are the details:
- 8 people are going from Poulsbo/Kitsap area. 3 more from Colorado will join the team in New York. (The Randalls led the team last year & moved to Colorado. They have made a “recruit” who they’ll be bringing with them).
- This year’s focus will be a medical clinic to Keur Madiabel as well as at least one other village in the area.
- We are still in need of donations of medical supplies or money to purchase them. (tax deductible!!)
- Both Alex & my mom are going so that leaves me without my 2 favorite people in the world. Good thing I’ve got some good friends, my knitting & a few kids to occupy me!
I’m sure you remember that last year was hard because I was so ready & geared up to go and then couldn’t. There wasn’t much for me to do besides go to the team meetings as a non-particpant. This year has been a little easier because I’ve been able to be really involved. I’ve led the team building/training sessions and helped to coordinate the fundraising efforts and language learning. The best compliment I had was having someone tell me that they forget that I’m not going. Makes me feel like I’m truly part of the team.
And so the countdown begins….
