We have packed up the overflowing box of donations that included boys and girls clothing and shoes, games, books, hygeine products and medical supplies into 12 suitcases - that's at least one extra suitcase each! Again, thank you to everyone who dontated items. The generosity you have shown will go a long way. Now that the donations are packed, we can check one more thing off our 'To Do' list as we get closer to our departure date. I guess all that is left is packing our own stuff and making sure we get to the airport on time!

Once we get down to El Hogar we will meet up with the rest of our team members; Tom and Jane Habig and Steve Roodhouse from St. Timothy's in Cincinnati, Ohio and Susan Francisco from St. Luke's in Jackson, Tennessee.

Four more days!
