Back soon for round two in Haiti!

Winding down my time in Haiti for this trip, finishing this round of water filters, getting the school on track, and happy to report that things have fallen in place. I have Gwenn, Nick, Sarah, and Jarrod that will remain here and will finish this project in the next few weeks, with updates coming from them.

I'll be back to Jacmel with Ryan and Andrew in the next month or two to begin phase two - another school and an orphanage in Fondwa - so get ready for Jacmel Guerrilla Aid 2.0!

Thank you all for your amazing help - we'll have a school for 600 kids up and ready for the new school year, and hundreds of families with clean water thanks to you all...

I had the amazing good fortune of having two friends from my home town come and take me for a ride in their helicopter around Jacmel and the surrounding area. You can see Cité and the site of the school, and I can't thank Jeremy and Paul enough for their kindness in taking me out for the afternoon... See you guys very soon in St. George...

A few things that have made me smile...

Mrs. Foeldi's kindergarten class in Anaheim, CA had a bake sale for our Haiti project and purchased 25 water filters for families in Jacmel - seriously made me cry when I saw this picture...

Hard working volunteers made my life much easier here...

Due to your generosity - the greatest joy was having enough funds to provide clean water to hundreds of families in the rural areas - THANK YOU!

I was inspired and moved, and felt for the first time that one person truly can make a difference.

The world seems so much bigger and yet so much more attainable after visiting Africa with Global Colors.
