One thing that brings meaning to my life and makes me fight to make it happen is our yearly visit to the refugee camps in the Sahara desert. Its hard to imagine in a developed world with the latest technologies at our fingertips what life is like in the camps. Our first night upon arrival is such an emotional time, as we  meet our friends, exchange hugs and kisses, sleep under the stars, and feel the cold breeze of the desert night... And this is just the beginning. Read more about Aid to Saharaui Refugee Camps- Part 2

Arriving in Phuket, we first went to the city hall which was the coordination center for the relief efforts in the area.

Having overcome several hurdles with the layout and design of the 3 books that make up our Bonton za Decu (Manners for Children) character-building curriculum, we were thankful when our chosen printer was able to give us a date that was compatible with our planned itinerary to go to Kosovo to pick up the first batch of books. He had been extremely busy with November being the Christmas rush, so even though he was only able to have 100 sets of books bound in time for our departure, we felt this amount would be sufficient for our first distribution push.
