preparing to leave!

Wow...only three more days until I leave for Cambodia. I can't believe how fast the time went by. First, I want to say how incredibly grateful I am for everyone's love, support and donations. I surpassed my fundraising goal almost two months ago, thanks to the generosity of family and friends. I can't tell you what a wonderful feeling that was!

And now, I've received my immunizations, medications, stocked up on DEET and other things I'll need and am almost packed for the trip. I actually have to go out and buy a bag for my own clothes and things that I'll be taking because I filled my regular suitcase with supplies for the kids: coloring books, underwear, crayons, markers, stickers, pens, pencils, games, etc...

THANK YOU so much to the people who contributed to the supplies: Christina, Dan & P, Linda & Silvia, Simone, and my parents. I really can't wait to see the looks on the kids' faces when they get their hands on this stuff.

I will have access to the internet on my trip, so I will try to update the blog on what's going on over there and hopefully be able to post some photos, so everyone who helped make this trip happen can really see how they've helped.
