Ever so slowly, I seem to be reverting back to my pseudo-normal-Type A self following the week in Honduras. There are still nights when I go to sleep with the images of Honduras on my heart...and that's pretty tough. In just a few days, I will have the team over to the house for a Central American meal and we'll reflect on our experiences and start formulating plans for the next mission. I am struggling with just how much involvement in The KidSake Foundation that I can commit. It could easily be all consuming and I am already seriously consumed with my job and a long list of projects that need my attention...(including a ton of video editing from the trip).
Some encouraging news arrived yesterday regarding a satellite internet hook-up with the school in Cane, Honduras. Acquiring the equipment and coordinating the installation at the school could fall under the $8,000 price tag that was tossed around earlier. For me, connecting a bunch of pre-teen students to the rest of the world via the Internet would be a validation of all the writing that appears here about the Digital Divide. It isn't exactly a save-the-world movement, but one small bridge across the technology gap looks pretty good to me for now.
