“Hey everyone,
I couldn’t help but think about what we all accomplished in the past three days. Just take a look at the numbers below and what it took to get these children here. This is amazing to me that other than some delays to get the escorts back home, we pulled this off and got these three children to where they needed to be. Challenges, there were many, from Cindy getting stuck in Sioux Falls the night before this trip, to Martine ending up at DFW the night before and having to go back to MIA before leaving for Paris, and lest we forget that Masako was not even confirmed on the CDG-PHL flight! Did I mention that Masako’s trip 2 weeks before cancelled when she originally tried to go over and get Mariama? Everyone pulled together and helped each other out and we pulled it off.
So many many thanks to all of you and certainly to the people at QRD in Dallas who answered so many of my emails and frantic phone calls when things kept changing, Laetitia Alger-Schley who sends our police letters to CDG requesting their assistance in the transit of the kids and certainly ASF and their volunteers. Without AA’s support, we could never do this. We did it, and we have all helped to make these three children’s lives better. It really does take a village. You should all be very proud! Thank you!
