Headed Home




36 straight hours of travel to get home.

thanks to Mark and my new Kenya-bootcamp-thighs i don't miss my connection in London and make the flight...gosh, that airport is huge....i run like the gazelle i spotted yesterday. :)
my luggage? - not so much. it's ok. it smells bad anyway....

i'm sad to leave the kids and people i've met on my journey. i'm so happy i was able to see what i've seen, learn what i've learned (anyone need a new brick bbq?), and give a little, too. i can't wait to do it again - i'm starting a new savings account this week.
if anyone wants to join me next time - i think we are headed to Haiti in 2012.

thank you to all who donated - money, supplies, well wishes... i couldn't have done any of it without you. very much appreciated.

oh - and i found out that the cost to build one of the houses we built is about $2,000 US. - crazy, right? micro finance works. i was there.

we were able to help build 2 of them. we also saved enough of our trip money as a team to donate enough to build 4 more homes at the IDP camp we visited on our first day. i call that success. :) thanks again everyone. :) xxoo cricket
