Here it is Wednesday January 20th, 2010. First project update.
The youth team has arrived at the Harris Resort in Batam Indonesia. Many of the youth team have made a great deal of changes to their everyday personal and working lives in order to be here.
The travel times have varied from 6 hours to 32 hours, some arriving a day early or a day later, according to flight availability.
Harris Resort has given everyone an incredible welcome. The staff, services, accommodations, meals and attention have gone well above and beyond any expectations. Batam’s friendly smiles and heart filled environment has become the new home for this stay.
Many heartfelt thanks go out to Harris Resort and the Project Investors. Helping Hands Youth Project, Indonesia 2010, would not have been possible without you.
Today, Wednesday is a team rest day from travel. We will begin our work with the children in the orphanages on Thursday.
We look forward to sending out all updates.
