Emotional welcomes

We were more than a little overwhelmed by the welcomes we received at each place we visited. These photographs only capture a little of what we saw and how we feel about this trip. We have all felt humbled, but impressed with the amazing work that is happening here. We have met some passionate and dedicated members of this community. The children's smiles say it all. The fact that many employees were Goodwill children themselves speaks volumes, as does the tremendous voluntary work that the commitee members do. We hope you enjoy a small taste of the photos.

A very well managed farm, working towards self-sufficiency.

    Wow! What was the purpose of your journey? Clearly, you all surpassed any intention you could have had for traveling, and it looks like you also learned a bunch from the students and adults, too. Fantastic and inspiring! Well done!
