Most of you know I'm leaving for Panama in 9 days - yes just 9 short days!!! I'm excited and expectant. I want to connect with the locals while I'm there and experience THEM rather than focusing on what we're doing FOR them. May I learn that they have a lot of things better than my little American way of life. Let me learn from THEIR culture. Let me not think of American solutions to what I may perceive as Panamanian problems.
OK - I just had to get that out. That's the reason I'm going to Panama for those of you wondering if I'm nervous or afraid of the hard labor in building houses. Nope, not at all. That's not what it's about in my mind.
Love you all - TJ
