Making progress

Today was one of those days, were I seemed to spend the entire day getting nowhere, only to find at the end it was a successful. This week presents the Haiti Emergency Response team the opportunity to regroup around the new team leader, review the past six months, and renew the vision for the future. And that is exactly what happened...after batting around ideas all day, we finally emerged with a road map for the next six months, which identified targets to achieve, strategies for accomplishing them, and key roles in the process. To see it all mapped out at the end of the day was a revelation. We had accomplished something significant. To top it off, upon getting home we discovered that we know had a cook, which means no more cooking for the team by Chris at 8 pm, and we had a TV. This is important, too, as you can only read a computer and a book so much on Saturday, and we can't really get out at all.

After a swim and an email to my wife, the end to a full day and a well-deserved rest. There are some pics of our team house in the slide show to the right.
