Excited to go!

There's something about actually making the reservations that makes the conceptual actual. You can actually feel the adrenalin rush because you've now taken that concrete, non-refundable step. We now have six people going -- two Board Certified Art Therapists, three students and one educator. We've partnered with Lumiere Medical Ministries, who have made the arrangements for us, Emporia State University, and CHART (Communities Healing through Art). There will also be two art therapists from France who are going to be working through Haitian Ministries at the same time, and our hope is to meet during our time in Port au Prince to share experiences and learn from each other. We've been very fortunate to have the support of Converse, Emporia and CHART to help make this happen.
