The final days

I've missed the last few days, mostly due to sheer exhaustion by tbe end of the day...emotionally and physically!  What an amazing journey this has been...I knew coming into it that this would be a life changing event, i just never realized as to whatnextent and how deeply this would change me and my life.  Each and every person on this team has brought a different skill set to this project and everyone gave their full heart, passion and strength.  Although we all came in as separate people, we leave here as a team, one whole.  
The village of El Molina has very little in possessions but is off the charts when it comes to love. They opened up their hearts and their homes to us and treated us as part of the community.  The children had such pure joy and love that was an outpouring everytime we came around.  
They might not have much when in our standards, but they have more than you can ever imagine when it comes to life in their life!
As we stuffed bottles for their school it was just not us stuffing, the entire commuunity came out to assist in the work for their school.  We even had a three year old helping to stuff bottles.  They are taking full ownership of this project and are working diligently to guarantee its success.
I challenge everyone to consider how you can step out of your boundaries, either locally or globally to see what you can offer up to others, money is great, but time and love is where you can truly make a difference.
Count your blessings.
