My special Christmas present

On Christmas eve I received a phone call that made our Christmas very special.  I call it my favourite Christmas gift but it was only a phone call.  Still,  I was very excited.
 
It was from a representative of Light up the world http://www.lutw.org/
 
Over the past two years my husband has been trying to contact his organization to get the rights to take this technology into rural Haiti and provide lighting where there is no electricity.  
 
We have been volunteers in Haiti in the past and are closely connected with an NGO from Ontario that supports an incredible development project there in the St. Marc region called Rayjon http://www.sarnia.com/rayjon/
 
On december 23rd we received a call from Rayjon that they have a house in Haiti that they would like to have lighting.  They asked again if we could try to contact LUTW.  It has been very frustrating because up until now all of our contacts were not returned.  My husband had nearly given up.
 
I asked if I could try.  So I tried again on December 23rd and left a message about what we could provide and the support we can give.  On december 24th when I got home there was a message.  I was so happy.  
 
This has been a goal of mine for a long time.  To continue to work with the people of Haiti and provide them with the opportunities for basics like food, education, medical clinics.   I have supported other organizations but hoped that we might find a way to be  more involved.
 
After my daughter was born I did not have the time but now it seems the time is right.  I hope so.
 
Just wanted to share this because it was the gift that meant so much to me.  We don't know where it will go but they want to initiate communcations and discussions with us.  :crossfingers
 
An exciting way to begin a new year.

This is truly exciting and I can only imagine how much it meant to them.  But then....this act is typical of THE Addams, et al!   Tongue
