I’m so thrilled to get posts of the trip thus far.
We’re living vicariously through your daily blogs, so keep them coming. I can’t wait to hear about your introduction to Trevor Tutu, as well as the Cotland HIV Clinic for children. I love you Jack! Ubuntu, Gail

I love the photos of you guys walking through the airport in Dubai. Every student is looking in a different direction, curious, perhaps amazed, at your new surroundings-taking it all in. After the long flight, even though it was one or two in the morning, you all look wide-eyed and ready to discover and learn. What a great trip it will be!!!

Inspired by the haiku… here is ours for you!

loved ones trekking far
eyes open with wonderment
envoys of good will

parents wait to hear
of sights, sounds and surprises —
send new cultures home
