This is a great group, still smiling after traveling for 15 hours without a shower; brushing our teeth, sitting in cramped airline seats, eating airline food but eager to get into the community to help the poor. We are an eclectic group from a wide variety of backgrounds, family upbringing, church affiliations and spiritual gifts and passions but I guarantee by the end of the trip we will be one family . . . One Family forever.


Phillip and Clive met us at the airport. Phillip brought the Build the Future sign to take photographs—you can tell Rob and Lori are used to posing as the rest of the group is not paying attention or not posing. Over the next few days, they'll slowly get used to the flash of the camera in their face at any given moment.
