Inaugural Team arrives!


We arrive in batches, shuttling from the airport, clunking off to our rooms up rain-slicked paths, straggling through mystical mangroves to dinner.


We are eager to learn about this motley crew assembled from across the country: David, Marilyn, Michelle, Robert, Warren, Roger, Chris, Keith, Paddy, Mary Dee, Darlene, Vicky, Julie, Lynn, Jim, Linda, Shari, Pam, Laurie, John, Betsy, Russ, Dave, Barbara, Mary, and Bud. Now we just need to remember our assigned seating for the next two weeks!


We listen in earnest to Bud’s providential story of coming to Anse La Raye and his hopeful account of what might be possible through teams of volunteers. We are weary and disoriented, waiting to settle in and to see Marigot Bay in the sunlight. And, mostly, we are eager to meet the community.
