this to me was our most important day. we visited the town and the schools to which we sent money for landmine victim vocational training. we meet many of the students there and spoke with them about the training they are receiving (in sewing and in electrical mechanics) to earn a living and go on with their lives after they or one of their family members who was a bread winner lost a limb. it was moving and heartwarming to exchange greetings, thanks and ideas about what all of us are doing.
it was wonderful for all of us to see the fruits of the money that was sent from tenafly to this town and this school. it's amazing to be witness to the fact that the money gets there and is used for such important work. we can make a difference.

It seems as if your trip is truly amazing and the experience of a lifetime. what a gift for your students to have given and to receive. Loved the photo of Dr.Greenwald trying on a dress- Liam says you look quite glamorous and not at all like you are being the toilet monitor...
MUch love
Lorraine, Carol and Liam,
So glad you responded. It has been amazing and an experience of a lifetime. I am enjoying the chldren enormously. It is such a pleasure to be with them and to watch them grow as they see all of this unfold.
Liam, there's no way I'd monitor the toilets here. They really stink!
Speak to you soon.
Love Aunt Judy
Hi Judy,
I can't believe what I'm reading. It's an amazing experience, especially for the students. I'm so glad you're having such a wonderful time. Can't wait to hear all the little details!
