While i was looking at some of the pictures, I remembered something while i was in Guatemala. (I was on a study abroad trip, with NCSU) We were walking through this area where in 2005 Hurricane Stand went through and had created a huge disaster, destroying everything in its path. There were two rivers that had come down the mountain and with that came a landslide, a lot of people died that night, because they were barried to death, there was no warning except for the few people that heard it come and tried to warn their neighbors. For most of the people it was too late. This was this past summer (2007) that i had visited this spot and two years later you could still see the devastation that it caused. However as my group was going through this area on a tour, we walked past a home, where the Senora wanted to tell us something. She spoke in her native Mayan language, (which was then translated into Spanish, then English). She wanted to thank us (because we were Americans) for building her house, they had just finished it a few weeks earlier. None of us that were there at that moment had helped out with the building of her house, but she wanted to tell us thank you. Habitat for Humanity had built the house for her, but she was so greatfull that us (Americans) would help her out with giving her a place to live after the hurricane had wiped out everything she had. The impact of what she said and what i saw on me was incredible. I don't know exactly why I'm writing this to you, but if i can help encourage anyone to go on a missions trip to help other people than this is what this was wrote for.

It was that first trip we went on with ROW that changed the way I looked at the world, and it was then that I realized we could make a real difference. We have come a long way from going on that initial trip, and the more volunteers I meet the more apparent it becomes that our experience is not unique among volunteers. The volunteers make the difference with the work ROW does. Thanks for the comment and for staying so involved in ROW's work! I couldn’t say it better myself.

Perhaps the story of fever, chills, aches, pains, strange noises, and a confrontation over who broke the truck is best told some other time. But out of that trip virtually every volunteer has come back on another trip or continues to support ROW stateside. It is a true testament to the people ROW serves and the people who make up ROW.
