Final thoughts

Final Thoughts
Never have I been in a place that needed more help than Tacloban.  We've seen many poor...but never so many poor burdened with so much loss.  Their resilience and faith is remarkable.  In China we saw great need...but we could do so little to help...water was not to be found and only the gov't could allow them to move from their unproductive & isolated location.  Here with AH, we could make a dent.... and have a great time with amazing kids from all over the world.  Our week helping the special need kids at Mother Teresa's orphanage and the two weeks with Children's Garden was very rewarding and brought lots of smiles to us and the kids.  Walking among the ancient yet still worked rice terraces was breathtaking.  Bohol's beach was relaxing.  And as usual, Rog got us where ever we wanted to go and shared all the joys & challenges with me!  How can I be so blessed???
