Hello all!I am still reeling from last night's presentation at the Board Meeting! What a fantastic display of your hard work and compassion! It was so wonderful to see all of you again and to relive our amazing adventure together in El Salvador. I wanted to take this opportunity to say how proud I am of all of you and what a privilege it was to share this experience with you. You are all

Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible. The trip opened my eyes to the whole entire world, unlike those commercials we see about whats wrong with the world and those little kids you see on T.V, this trip really brought you there, and put you right in front of everything. El Salvador isn't a bad country - - it just has its problems like every other country. The team, the leaders,

Exactly one week ago, I was waking up for the first time in 12 days in my own bed at home. Normally after a vacation, people cannot wait to be home to sleep in their own bed. However, I felt the complete opposite. I missed my single bed in small room of Centro de Formacion. I missed my two roomates, and I missed waking up to a warm breakfast in 30 degree weather with my DSBNi team.Everyday, I

I just want to say thank you to everyone that made this trip happen, from the people who sponsored us to the ones that supported us all. This trip has really opened me up to a whole new meaning of life and made me see that you can make a difference - you just have to try. We might have not changed the world, but I know for sure that we did change the world for a family and we did change

So here it goes, my last official blog post of the first official DSBNi trip. The last 12 days have been...incredible. Like anything in life, it wasn't perfect, because if the world was perfect a trip like this one wouldn't be needed. We had had some fantastic highs, and some self-realising lows as well. Personally I believe that this trip has re-energized me. Things that used to take me down,

From: Andrew Petheram, A.N. MyerHola everybody,Our 6th day on the build site was very eventful, we managed to add another 4 layers of block making the wall about seven feet tall. As everybody else will probably fill you in on our day I would like to focus on the resourceful Salvadorian nature. Often in Canada once something has been used or we don’t need it anymore we put it to the curb and we

Amanda Vargo:Friday I was sick, but managed to get better. Saturday when we pulled into the resort it was amazing, just a breath-taking view. Trish and I still managed to have ants in the room, I guess it was because of the beautiful waterfall view we had outside our window. I went to the beach and collected a lot of seashells. But what amazed me the most is how outside of the walls of what we

From Jordan Milne-This weekend was awsome, we all had an amazing time.ChowFrom Matt Sinan-This weekend was really good, I think everyone needed it off, because we were all really tired and could use some relaxation. We saw some pretty interesting parts of El Salvador. By the beach I think was the worst place, you would think since it's a beach there would be nice houses there, but it was

From Andrew Petheram, A.N. MyerHola everybody,My fifth day in El Salvador was not a very productive day as far as the build site goes...Since I was sick yesterday the doctor advised me to stay back at the retreat center today and rest. So I basically layed around and watched movies on Ryan´s iPod while the others slaved away all day on the house. I am told that I will be very surprised with the

Hi Eric and everyone else in El Salvador.Eric it is so nice to read all of your messages. We are really proud of you and everyone helping to make a difference in these families lives. Dad and I are in Calgary. We have been anxious to connect to the internet and read how you and the team are doing.

From: Andrew Petheram, A.N. MyerHola everybody,Happy Canada Day!! Our 4th day was a rather different day, considering myself and about half the team were under the weather. Since the team was not at its full potential, and the bathroom situation at the worksite is not great, we decided to take the day off. Some of the team went out to the local market yesterday morning and out for lunch, but I

Amanda Vargo:Today I felt like everything I did for everyone was not good enough with the day off from the build. It was needed but I wished I did work, it beats not being appreciated. It feels like everyone expects me to be a lot tougher than everyone and sometimes I just can´t. But for the ones that seem to be understanding it I am glad they are, or I would go completely crazy.

From: Andrew Petheram, A.N. MyerHola everybody, Our third day was another eventful day, the house is actually starting to look like a house! Upon arrival to the work site, I was greatly surprised, the head mason took me aside and started to teach me how to lay brick. Rosa, our Habitat advisor said that she has never seen the masons let anybody lay brick, let alone teach them. This made me feel

Amanda Vargo:Being here just for this one day has really affected my outlook already. Going to the orphanage was a new experience for me just knowing that there in a better place than in the hands of parents that cannot deal with or support them. The plane ride was not that bad, first time and I never got sick. The food is better than what people may think. I am eating it so it really is not that

Hello everyone,A quick mid-day entry just to let parents and family know that we have arrived in Zacatecoluca safe and sound. Everyone is comfortable, happy and excited. Habitat for Humanity has been great with getting us oriented. We have met the family, and what a family it is . . . 10 children in the home!This morning we visited an orphanage.

Looking at the blog, it is surprising how much has been accomplished before we have even left. So many people have come together to make this happen. . . The list of people to thank would be a very long one. But, we are well prepared and Habitat For Humanity - El Salvador will be a great host to us in their country. We will be staying in Zacatecoluca, but will be building in Olocuilta about 20

Remember to tune in to FM 105.1 The River tomorrow (Monday, 15th) at around 8:40am when some of the team will be on air talking about the Global Village build. If radio does not work for you at that time of day, maybe the computer will . . . 105.1 The River streams its broadcast at http://www.river.fm/ where you may be able to tune in.

Hey everyone, I was online looking for stuff to put on a poster for my school, and I found the reading from Dean Allison in the House of Commons. I posted the link but if it doesn't work here is what it said. Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw to the attention of the House an upcoming project organized by the technology and experimental learning team at the District School Board of Niagara.
