I just returned from eating lunch with Evelyne, a Philo student, and then watching the Friday lunchtime Spelling Bee of 7th vs. 8th graders with her. The energy in the auditorium was contagious! The 8th graders won! The crowd went wild! What fun everyone had. 
Now the students are back to class to finish up the week. And, I come back to continue my search for host families and scholarship for the Philo class. Deadlines are now upon us; we need to get the Toefl exams scheduled and Dossiers organized for Visas if the students are to study outside of Haiti. If anyone has any leads of interested people, or if anyone is themselves contemplating having a student join their family, please contact me as soon as possible. 

Being part of a young life in such a way that you are literally giving them the opportunity to change their life, their family's life, their community and even their country, is not only awe inspiring, it's immeasurable. Think about it - yes, it's a faith step. But really, aren't those the most exciting steps you've ever taken?
