Sydney's Take

Hey guys! First off, I hope everyone is doing well back in the States! I have experienced so many great things in such a short amount of time! Words cannot begin to describe just how kind and caring the people of Roatan are. It's so amazing watching people who have so little, give so much! So far we've been to a school, two sports camps, and we've been to the orphanage every night, and every second of it has been great. It's awesome being able to bond with the kids and people, and learn how they live. It's crazy to process just how much the people go through, and how strong they continue to be. Being on this trip makes me so thankful for everything I have, as well as the family that provides it for me. It's such an eye-opener, and I wish everyone could experience all of the amazing things that the team has. As we near the end of the trip, it's very bittersweet. Leaving the children that we get to meet is harder than I thought, they are so loving! As soon as we meet them, they run up to us and greet us with huge hugs! I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to join the 2013 team and help make such an impact. Although I don't want to leave Roatan, I'm excited to return and be able to share more about my trip and just how amazing it was, and will continue to be! I love you guys, see you soon!
