It is hard for me to believe that we will be in the Amazon in less than 3 weeks. A year ago I was returning to this place I love for the first time in 12 years and found my students and I welcomed by old friends who had never forgotten the students of Hudson High School.
This year I will be going home again, accompanied by 29 students all of whom have worked hard to get where we will be going. We will be traveling with books created by Farley's 2nd graders and more Flat Stanley's than I have ever seen in one place.
The staff at Hudson High School has supported our students in many ways, from running in our Run for the Rainforest 5K, to donating old suitcases, to understanding when a member of Peru Crew is late for class because they could not break away from their second grade class.
The generosity of community members has allowed us to travel this year with enough soccer equipment to outfit at least 3 youth teams in a place where cleats are valued in ways we cannot imagine.
This journey that we are taking is a team effort and to all those involved I want to say thank you.
