I just found out today that a school in Vancouver has been selling hot chocolate to raise money for our team - $300 !!! How awesome is that!! Maggie and Chris-girl did a presentation last fall.
A local Portland Kiwanis club (is it the Sellwood club?) has donated $140 to our team.
We've had a lot of good support and good friends and family that has provided us with funds and supplies to help make our trip successful. The rest will be up to us to provide the care and love to the Haitian people.
The weather today has been cool to warm to very humid/ cloudy and back to pleasant with a few sprinkles of rain...the music has gotten louder out here but can barely hear it in my room which is actually closer but the direction/ location must protect me a little and the sound carrying.
I met another resident last night...Francin from Quebec lives in apartment under the pool. She is making a documentary on agriculture for students - if I understood her correctly. She is vey nice - her second trip her to live and work...She says she has made some wonderful friends here and really likes it.
The little boy that blows his whistle annoyingly non stop on the balcony of his apartment in the afternoons was out riding his bike tonight- making sure I was impressed with his skills but also ignoring me in the process. He is kind of cute when he doesn't have his whistle.
