The Trip of a Lifetime

Reporting stateside...Hope you had the opportunity to see our Skype Shot on WFMY-TV2, The Good Morning Show at 5:45 AM this morning. If you missed it, you can go to http://www.digtriad.com/ and click on The Trip of a Lifetime to see the video. The comments bar will take you to photos of the trip and additional commentary. Thanks to Rosemary Plybon for making this happen!

Lorna Devkota, representing the Dustin's GreenHouse Globetrotter's, did a beautiful job conveying the differences between the living conditions in Romania and at home. She commented on "how much we take for granted in America and that can't be said enough." Lorna recounted their earlier visit to a hospital, unpainted with cracked tiles, which was filled with abondoned children. It felt more like they were in a prison; there was no air circulating.

The DGH team will undoubtedly come home with a greater appreciation of what we have here in America. Their horizons have been broadened by experiencing the rich culture in Romania, learning about the people and most significantly, working alongside with them, improving their living conditions.

The Romanian Adventure is almost over, but the impact of the journey will be lasting in ways beyond measure.

'Til next time...Ashley Staton
