FIVE VOLUNTEERS LEFT FOR THE ISLANDS THIS MORNING AT 7:00 AM
Our Biggest Group Yet - A Dream Come True
Int he first (and hopefully the last) crisis of the trip,
Tim came within minutes of missing the flight because
of a passport misreading by one of the agents. It was finally resolved and he made it onto the plane with only minutes to spare! I can see him red-faced from stress and sweating from running through the airport!
How he got this photo, I'll never know! But that's Tim! If he says he is going to do something, he gets it done!
At the Louisville airport!

I have been dreaming, planning, and working for this day for almost five years - a day when a whole group of volunteers would be able to go down to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as a team.
It took me several years to renovate the Pastoral Centre (the Bishop's residence, the Catholic Chancery, the Diocesan Retreat and Meeting Center and my Catholic Second Wind headquarters) as a comfortable place out of which volunteers would work. That has been accomplished and now the first group is going down together. Father Tomas R. Clark went down once. Beth Kolodey has been down once. I have been down twelve times.

TO FOLLOW THEIR ADVENTURES, CHECK THIS BLOG ALL NEXT WEEK
---- to inquire about future volunteer opportunities for yourself (you don't have to be Catholic - in fact two of these five volunteers are not Catholic)
---- to donate toward our "volunteer travel expense fund" so
others can go in your place (since we help people of all faiths or no faith, we also take not-Catholic money)

Memorable trips cannot be forgotten and tourists remember their great travel experience and they like to share their travel experiences as well as stories with people.
