"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Requesting opinions ---don't be shy!!


I am sending Panda a little gift package. A kind parent, who will bringing her two daughters home SOON, has offered to bring it to Haiti with her.

I am sending her 2 short/shirt outfits and 1 dress, and a doll. I noticed when I showed her the family album of photos that I left behind that she likes dolls and she is afraid of dogs. So I am also sending the doll holding a stuffed dog.

Now here is the question...I'm torn on this. I also purchased Tuki the same dress, I just thought it was so pretty.
Should I take a picture of Tuks in it, have it enlarged and laminated and then state something about your sister Tuki is waiting for you to come to America. My thoughts are that the same dress might help make her feel more connected to us. But what do others think... could it cause a different reaction??

Remember Panda is 3 1/2 years old. Her age may make a difference in your thoughts....

No, I think this is a great idea!! Panda may be excited to know she has a sister, and not just a sister, but a sister "just like her". Know what I mean? It isn't just someone, who wants her, but is expecting her and ready to be her sister, friend etc. I think the idea is awesome, this will in my opinion give Panda something to hold on to until you go again and she comes home! I know my daughter is 7 and loves to hear about her brother in Haiti!

I think you should take the picture and send it. Sounds like a great idea to me. I think it would make her happy to see her sister wearing the same dress. A connection like you said.

I love this idea. I think she will be so excited to have that connection with her little sis, and one with a matching dress--little girls love that! I think I'm going to do something like this with Joel and Merisier when we go down in November.
