Making a Difference...

Happy Monday everyone!

I started my week off on a good note. I arrived with one of my favorite, smiley 5th grade boys today. Upon arrival, I asked him how his weekend was. "Bad", he replied. "Oh no! Why's that?". He turns to look at me and says "Miss, I didn't get a chance to read my book!"

A lot of the time, I don't feel like I've made much difference here and that I'll be forgotten within a week of my departure. However, this morning helped me to see that maybe I at least made some kids happy. That library...it's making a difference. Maybe it doesn't seem like some big life-changing accomplishment to me, but it means a lot to some of these kids. I can live with that.

Speaking of making differences, as most of you may know this year was the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Corps. A couple of our talented voluntters here in Grenada made an amazing documentary about the Peace Corps involvement in Grenada. You can check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWTSRyVMmVQ
