Tomorrow is the BIG day. We leave at 8:30 am. The students have to be at school at 7:45 for breakfast and bag check. Many are already having trouble sleeping at night as the excitement mounts. It's still hard to believe ten little kids have accomplished such a huge feat. Raising over $28,000 in our tiny little village speaks volumes of how strongly people want their children to experience life. Hats off to all of those who helped in big and small ways. Without ALL of you we could not have done this. As someone told the students today, "This trip will change your life, enjoy every moment of it." We hope they return with more than just a tan. They will gain knowledge of new cultures and places they have only dreamed of up until this time in their lives. Hopefully we'll be able to post tomorrow from the King Kamehameha Campus in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii complete with photos. Thank you again - Quyannukpuq!
