This year my family is again scattered- oldest in Seattle, middle in New Orleans nearing the end of her 6 week volunteer project (I'm looking forward to giving her lots-o-hugs!) and the youngest is just a few blocks away. We are expecting him to descend with his friends for a barbecue soon.
Last year, Rachel and I celebrated our country's freedom in Cambodia with an awesome family from America. I took a suitcase of books for the children, and some Mp3 players loaded with audiobooks. Living differently, like the Lewis family, certainly requires sacrificing things that one enjoys, such as books. They founded Action to Restore Hope- Cambodia to provide safe water, medical supplies, and educational materials to a remote area in the northeastern part of Cambodia.
Books- wow! I scored at ALA! Huge tote bags full of ARCs- thank you to all the generous publishers! I'm set to read for weeks!
