greetings from the witness tour

 greetings from the witness tour here in Honduras....
day 4 or 5 i believe although it is hard to keep it all straight at least for me.
we are trying to get a team member to take a cut at this daily in the hopes of opening the aperture a bit on el hogar. the land of love and hope..which i can now persoanlly confirm it is in fact.
so, i signed up today - first  and perhaps last blog tbd.
where to begin and when to stop..suffice it to say this has been one of those life adventures that i had hoped to have and have been fortunate enough to somehow make happen here.
although  it is not about me and not about us it is hard not to personalize and take all that we are seeing, doing and witnessing deep into our very souls. the folks on my team, our team are simply amazing to me.
the breadth and depth of the experience set, international seasoning, personal commitment and deep caring and desire to make a difference in this community and these children's lives is beyond anything i expected.
our wake up call is usually laughter from one of the ladies and then the children in the yard playing after breakfast at 6.30 am. is laughter the best medicine ? it certainly is a tie that binds.
the children, our children--
they are everything you would imagine them to be..beautiful, fragile, hyperactive, playful and longing for so many of things we and our children and families take for granted every second of every minute of everyday.
the leader of the school and the guardian angel angel and legal guardian of the circa 100 boys and girls is Claudia and she must be seen to be believed.. not clear how she bears the tremendous burden of the school and the children day in and day out but i am thankful we have her. you all should be too.
i am blessed to have this opportunity and spend time with the children, the staff and my fellow teammates.
it has been humbling and heartbreaking at times and i have reveled in the team bonding and intensity of the experience..i could and will ramble on with anyone who is interested when we reenter the atmosphere in the commonwealth over the weekend.
just got frozen out and am now back and do not want to push it..
time to hop.
before i do wanted to end with a shout out to my peeps mlada karolinka, superG and RB.
peace to all and to all good night.
what is done is done and what is not done is not done.
