Our house sounded like a busy beehive at 1 am this morning. The bus came at 2 am (sorry neighbors) and loaded 21 team members and 42 duffel bags full of purchased and donated supplies. You could feel the excitement and no one stopped talking until they stepped out in the frigid weather without coats to load the bus! No one appeared to be sad to be leaving the chill behind and were talking about 90 degree weather and sunshine. In Chicago their flight was delayed due to the weather, but they were able to have a smooth check in (thanks to their fearless leaders). The next flight in DC was a different story as they scrambled to connect to their Ethiopian flight and were then told by the airlines that all their bags may not make it. The good news is they carried on their important belongings. They can now settle into their seats for a 13 1/2 hour flight. They also connected with Ginger (Texas) and Kristin (South Carolina) so once they get to Tanzania and connect with Dr. Furaha, the team of 24 will be complete.
We look forward to sharing their adventure with all of you.......
Mama Julie
