Waking up in Ubaúna is always an interesting event.

The sounds, the smells and the sights are always arresting, even to one who has experienced it upteen dozen times. I love hearing the remarks of the “newbies” who’ve never had the pleasure. Brings a smile and a chuckle to my lips.

Today is the first full day on the ground. We’re going to be busy, busy, busy.

First thing up is working with the Seed of Hope kids painting pictures. Three different locations, 300 kids… for some reason I think we’re going to have our hands full.
