Start of a new journey!

On Tuesday March 15th when I arrived home from school I had a new email from Callie (who is the lady I have been communicating back and forth with about going to GLA) saying that I had a spot to go down to Haiti to God's Littlest Angels(Haitian orphanage) with Brittnei (an amazing friend of mine)! I had been praying for this news for a month now! Check out God's Littlest Angels at www.glahaiti.org. Ever since I came home from the Dominican Republic a year from now actually I have had a passion to help others in third world countries. This opportunity sprang and I'm going to take it! While I am in Haiti I will be working with 8 children a day one each hour to help develop their skills, play with them and love them. I also probably will be assisting wherever else is needed like delivering much needed supplies, unpacking supplies sent in etc. I will have access to internet daily, (if its working), laundry once a week, tv, dvd player, showers and I will be sleeping in a bunk bed. Sounds like pretty nice living quarters to me:) So I've started to get everything in order, sending in my police checks, talking with work about taking three weeks off, talking to my parents, looking for flights etc. Next step is to book flight! And get the finances all arranged! It will cost me around $40.00 a day to stay for three weeks! All together will cost me about $1700.00. I will leave at the end of April with Brittnei and come home mid May. If anyone would like to donate or knows of anyone who would like to donate please let me know!
