Practicing the Portuguese language tapes; learning about children in an orphanage; spending 3 days in San Francisco to get a Brazil Visa: I never imagined how much effort it would take planning this volunteer trip. I've taken international trips many times, but this one is different. There are others (little folks) counting on us when we get there. So, we're reading and talking to friends to find out just how to interact with children from 1-4 that probably don't speak any English.
But, some things are just not risk free ... and that would take the surprise and joy out of it anyway. Judy and I are really looking forward to all that we are offered during this trip for Cross Cultural Solutions and Mother Teresa's orphanage in Salvador, Brazil.
