Check out Ari Herrera's report from the recent trip to an "orphanage" that Ari coordinated for a local group of school kids. As you may recall, Ari is on staff with HCCM. She occasionally coordinates trips for those groups or individuals desiring to get involved to help at orphanages or other means of assisting the abandoned children of Panama. Below is her account of the days' events, a day that forever impacted a group of 4th graders to understand the faces of the orphan, the malnourished, the needy...
TORNADOES, that is. And lots of them! Peter just couldn't remember this new word, and so kept calling them tomatoes.

Not quite as scary when you put it in that perspective...
Nope, haven't fallen off the face of the earth :) We have been in Raleigh, NC for the past month. Our visa finally came thru for Peter and we took off right away. Meanwhile, Ari is hard at work for HCCM back in Panama...
