About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Coupeville, WA, United States

I was adopted at a very young age.I have always felt very very fortunate to have had two incredible and truely wonderful people who chose me out of the line up of orphans to take into their home, care for, feed, love, nurture, and give me a ton of really cool free stuff. I'm so glad I am a dad to two wonderful people who I am so proud of. I enjoy traveling spending time with my family and friends, and sharing with them the adventure that is life. I also get a lot back from my work as a volunteer with Medical Teams International. Ive helped support thier mission in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia, Haiti and will soon be in Libya.

Seans' 18th Birthday

Today was a surprise party at the office for Sean. One of the office staff had a cousin who was a cake maker so a special cake was ordered for Sean. Kiru is our interpreter, driver and
NWMT security officer. When we first arrived he invited us to his villlage for a long weekend. We had a great time and his children all called Sean Hawwy Podder, "Harry Potter". The name stuck thus explains his special birthday cake. The office staff also got together and puchased a cricket bat and practice ball. Sat. is a mmeting in AM for me and then we hope to get to a cricket game in the
afternoon.

Sunday we'll head down to Hikkaduwa on SW coast to start the 1st EMT class. We'll teach it for 4 days then break for 4 days. We have planned a trip to Kandy an ancient capital city for their PERAHERA. A big Buddhist celebration with elephants lights, drummers, dancers etc. The pictures from that should be good.
I know Sean missed his Mom, Sister, Granddad, girlfreind Ginnie and freinds from back home, but he'll make up for that later.
