Looking forward to seeing the photos from the Islands! I’m so blessed for you all to have experienced this part of the trip — the way these beautiful people have been living for generations — so different from what we have been familiar with! That this experience is now forever impressed into our Youth’s consciousness is fabulous, and undoubtedly life changing.
Can’t wait to hear the first hand accounts, once we have our precious family members and friends back home!
(I love you, Sarah B.!)
