The Party has started!

It is blazing hot...we had our first team meeting and the party has started.
Now...it was not the original plan. All things change in a country like
this. Sometimes hourly. And that is what happened this morning. The house
build will now take place tomorrow. We will be handing out shoes this
afternoon as well as hooking up some AC units. (We are thinking about
nominating "The Fin" for Presidente). We had some teaching slots to fill.
Greg and Scott slid into the Computer Lab slots and will do it all week from
8am-12pm. Dr. Doug May is our resident math "fractions" expert. I will
fill you in more this evening. Stay tuned to this blog for more great
updates and pictures.

Monday...Monday!

Monday the team will be involved in several things...
We will be building a house...
Volunteering as teachers and tutors at the school...
Reorganizing storage areas
Taking part in a feeding program

This team is something else. It is an honor to have such a great crew.
The Manasseros are wonderful and so are Whitney, Brooke, Ashley, Matt and
Dana. We are having a blast.
Now about the pic...sorry Val....I was running late and had to post
something!

No Grilled Cheese!

Greg got a bit teary eyed when he found out that he would not have
opportunity to get a grilled cheese sandwich. Greg also played soccer with
a few of the boys today....he held his own...but the lads here have some
game!

If the shoe fits - Haiti Edition

I just want to say a HUGE thank you to people who gave resources so we could
bless the children of Haiti. I cannot wait to see the children come and
pick out their own shoes. Thanks so much for your support of Possibilities
International.

Haiti Bound!

I have waited for months to jump on a plane with the Freakshow and the team to Haiti.  We are taking hockey bags full of supplies.  We have running shoes for all the kids at the boys and girls home.  I am ready....and even hungry.  Stay tuned

Okay....so I was doing some checking.  There is some good stuff in the bags.  I am wondering though about the smell of bacon.  That was weird.

The Freakshow knows how to treat his teams.  They get gum...water bottle...tshirts...toonies for the luggage carts!  This guy is wild!

The smell of bacon had me looking for some grub.  No much room in my carryon but I had a bit of room.
