2018

     A new year. The nice thing about a new year is that it is another chance to change. Most people start the new year working on all those resolutions that seem to disappear as the weeks progress. For some it is to stop smoking. For others it is to loose weight. Maybe for some it is to get a new job or a new place to live. For most, these are goals they really think they will achieve. And they start off working towards them. Will they succeed? That waits to be seen. But they will try hard, at least for a while.

     For our team, this year is one aimed at rebuilding. Not by adding new members, even though we would love for that to happen. But it is more towards rebuilding our drive to try to help. The last several years have been very hard. Sad about not being able to return to the land that has captured our hearts. Dealing with the loss of family and friends, and that ever ending question as to why these deaths happened. And the struggle to start redirecting our efforts towards the goal we have had, to help others.

     Hopefully this year will be a good one. We have plans to do projects. Ideas of things we would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. Will we be able to complete these? That remains to be seen. But we will try, we will stumble, and we will keep pushing forward.

     So please walk with us through 2018. Through the projects, the fundraising, the ups and the downs. Together, we will do what we can, and continue to plan for the future.
