Almost there!!

THANK YOU!!!! Everyone has been so generous that I have just about everything on my "wish list" for the kids - last thing is soccer balls!!

I just returned from the OpSmile International Student Leadership Conference in Denver. The theme was "Be The Change" - super inspirational. A speaker talked about when she was 18 travelling to Nepal and found orphans needed homes there. She started a grass-roots campaign and now has built a house where 300 orphans live and go to school. She only had $5,000 in life savings to start it off and was just a teenager. Another speaker told us to surround ourselves with people who make us better - help us to be our "best selves" - and support us on our path in life.

Again, hugs and kisses to my amazing friends and family who have donated to help the children of Fortaleza! Obrigado!!
