Today - August 17, 2009

As I write this I am in a hotel room in Honduras (on-du'-rras). I am writing to remember that today, I had the privilege to orient the Academic Director of Food for Hungry Minds School Honduras, Fernando. He had so many good questions. Thankfully, I had some answers.

More than five years ago, I would not have thought of being in a country in Central America telling someone my Hungry Minds stories. I just concentrated on doing what I loved and what I needed/wanted to do. Look at where these have brought me now. I had a good trip down memory lane reliving all the good times and the hard lessons. As I told those stories, I was just so proud of children, parents, teachers, staff, donors, and volunteers who have been with me once, twice, or throughout the whole endeavor. I am so honored to be in this journey and to be surrounded by people who have been of so much help.

I know that in the future there will be more stories written, more pictures taken, and more lives transformed because of Food for Hungry Minds. I just don't want to forget today.
