Caribbean night/birthday send off


Leaving for Haiti today! last night my kids had a birthday/ farewell party.....Theme was caribbean food..included black bean dip , mango guacomole,fried plantains with crab dip, jerk chicken, curried shrimp skewers, fruit salad, red beans and rice and great coconut cake. Of course lots of wine and you guessed it "Mohitos"
I must say I am a little nervous, but mostly about how to get all the bags I am bringing where they need to go. A huge thank you to all of my friends and family who have supplied me so abundantly....I only hope that I can help...that in some little way what we are doing can make a difference to someone. Great parable in "Half the sky"
A little boy on a beach saw thousands of stranded starfish, he slowly, carefully threw them back into the sea. His grandfather said....how can you possibly make a difference...you can never save all of these starfish...to which the little boy picked up a starfish and said But It will make a difference for this one.....Wish us well
