I am so overwhelmed by the generosity of the people in my life. Never have I felt so fortunate! I have so much stuff donated that I'm not sure how I'm going to get it there....to large suit cases and most likely I will have to ship several boxes...however I just got some very bad news! The head management of all of the SOS orphanages has ordered them to be shut down. The kids have been shipped to different programs around the country. I don't have all the details yet, and I'm told I should not change my plans, but I might be going somewhere else to work...will still be with kids, just in a different location. :( I was so excited to meet them, lay on the hammocks and eat the mango's out of my back yard! There is a major meeting happening this week that will determine whether the kids are able to come back and all can proceed as it was. I'm praying for the kids and all the other volunteers that are currently there for a good outcome!
Meanwhile I'm still trying to pack and figure out everything I need to have before I leave :) This is pretty overwhelming as well! Oh and learn some Spanish...also very overwhelming :) I will keep everyone posted as I learn more...
