Remember this photo? Probably not. I posted it way back in February. This is Eden holding her acceptance letter to Youth Making a Difference (YMAD). I'll let you read more about the organization on your own, but in the interest of time, I'll sum up the critical stuff here...
- YMAD is a non-profit that takes teens to do humanitarian work in India.
- Eden has spent the last year with a group of fellow students preparing to go.
- They will work primarily in remote villages outside of Kolkata (Calcutta).
- She left this morning at 5am.
- She and Tracy waited until the very last minute to cry. (I was unaffected).
- She will have not have access to a cell phone or ranch dressing for 17 days.
The place:
The people:
We are excited for her and proud of her.
If you only knew how far she has come...
You can also follow their daily progress on the YMAD blog.
Stay tuned.

Hooray for Eden! I know you were unaffected by the tears, James--a Rabdau male has never been known to snuffle & snorkel when emotional!
