Every night the kids have a meeting to tell about their day. They talk about what worked and what didn't. Today was a good day! One group told about how the road was closed to their school and they had take another road and then hike down. The hike was over 45 minutes long and the teens were wondering if they would ever find their school. When all of the sudden they turned a corner to find 30 screaming children running towards them! They were overcome with emotion and excitement. All the teens expressed how this was one of the best days they have had and you could tell that after a few really hard days of travel they were in much better sprits!
We should be getting more blogs via telephone tomorrow.

Wow what a wonderful story...it brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for all these kids, both the teens and the school children. I know my Maggie is having the time of her life.
Thank you YMAD group for your selfless service in this Thanksgiving season. Thank you for bringing joy, hope, love to the children of Shalai. I'm SO grateful for you- for your year-long preparation to bless and enrich the lives of so many children and their families. YOU'RE THE BEST!!! Sure do enjoy the blog and the updates of this great adventure. Hugs to all...an especially long hug to my daughter Megan, who long ago decided this was to be part of her mission in life.
