Have vest will travel.... In just a day or so, a team of 8 folks from Belmont University and MTSU will be in Honduras on a mission to support the KidSake Foundation and the soon-to-be-officially-activated Clemintina Martinez Foundation of Cane (pronounced KAH-nay), Honduras. That also means that I'll not be blogging much here at CTDT but will be Reporting from Honduras with the help of the Media Studies students from Belmont.
If you have ever participated in a missions project of any kind, you understand the importance of flexibility and patience...and this trip may stretch the envelope for all of us in the realm of flexibility. We have already experienced the frustrations of air travel planning, additional events added to a full itinerary, the illness of one team member that resulted in a last-minute cancellation, and the herding-of-cats process that goes along with organizing things while team members are scattered across the continent for Christmas holidays. Say a prayer for our safety, for the projects we tackle among the needy, and for the impact that the cultural exchange will have on us all.
Stop by at the Reporting from Honduras blog and drop us a kind word/comment...the team will appreciate the gesture. We hope to supply a good flow of information, images, and better writing than you'll ever see here. Video uploading is probably just a dream...but there will be good stuff to see upon our return, I promise.
' hasta el proximo ano!
P.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who contributed to the trip (and to the lost airline deposit project).
