Great people do great things.

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail" - Ralph Waldo Emerson                                                                                                               

After reading Paul's final thoughts on our trip I was inspired to add this quote to our blog.  It reconfirms my beliefs in a great co-leader and also a great group of people.  As has been noted we are a legendary team and that is because we have legendary people.

We can,  and do make a difference.  In addition to the build we have taken on projects to refurnish a kitchen, build a new community bridge and help fund the eco-latrines for a school of 200 children.   As always we establish a bond with the families we build for and with the local organizers as they thank us for allowing them to be part of our family for a week. Little do they know that we are the ones so grateful to be part of their family for one week a year.

Yes,  there is a lot of work to do and there will always be people in extreme need,  but remember we made a difference to these three families. Now while we are all back home to our regular routines we can truly say that we left a trail in Nicaragua for others to follow.
