Halfway

Hey!
So, I don't have much time to write, but there are 2 big things that have happened that I thought I'd let everyone know about. First, I've decided to stay an extra 3 weeks here in St. Lucia. I've really fallen in love with everything about the program and the place, and decided last week that I just wasn't quite ready to leave yet. I'll be here until April 29th, and then I go on to Zambia for only 4 weeks, and will still be home May 24th. Second is that last thursday night/friday morning the volunteer house got broken into. Three of us had stuff stolen. They took my laptop, phone, iPod and camera. Thankfully, I have another camera, so I'll be able to keep on taking photos, but I lost all of my music and all my papers from Loomis, as well as ALL of my photos. As I (stupidly) didn't have any of it backed up, it's really not that great. If anyone has any photos they think I would want, PLEASE send them to me (morgan_ross@me.com) I would really like to try to get at least some of them back if possible. I was bound to get robbed somewhere sometime, so I wasn't too surprised, and I'm already pretty over it. It's actually very freeing not having any technology to worry about. I'm sure it's going to really suck having to go on a 15 hour plane ride with no music, but besides that, I don't really mind it all that much. I definitely won't be careless enough to let it happen again though. Also, this means that I won't be able to upload any more photos until I'm back home. The internet connections at the cafes are too slow for me to upload even one. Anyways, I hope all of you are doing well, and I'll try to get back to write a little bit more sometime later this week.

  1. I am so proud of you! You just learned a big lesson in life.."The Oh Sh*t Factor". Glad you found a way to continue the wonderful work you are doing and still get to spend some time in Zambia. You are laying the groundwork for some exciting philothranpic work ahead. Empathy and caring are deeply inbedded in you.
    Stay Safe. Luv you.
