A Testimonial of Michelle’s Experiences on our
Sacred Journey

October 20, 2006

Dear Mama Sharon,

I am home now. Home from the MOST powerful, deeply rewarding, beautiful and enlightening trip of my lifetime. I might be home, back to reality, back to the daily grind, back to my duties and responsibilities, but I am FOREVER changed. Encouraged by the magnitude of what I experienced. Inspired by seeing how YOU, a remarkable angel on earth are
able to reach out and make a HUGE difference in the lives of so many children of Peru.

Handing out bread, bananas, pens, crayons, pencils, school supplies, clothing, shoes and stuffed animals to all of
those sweet and appreciative little faces was immensely rewarding. It warmed my heart to see the hundreds of children at The Universal Heart Restaurant so thankful to each and every one of us who formed the line that delivered that plate of food and glass of milk to their eagerly awaiting little hands and tummies. It was touching to see the children happily run downstairs to wash their plates after they finished their meal. They took their job seriously and it showed. They were proud to have a job to do.

I loved meeting Washington, Carlos, Rogelio, Marlene, Marie Lilliana and Paul. They are amazing human beings with strong values and such depth to their character. Each one of them showed such a grateful and appreciative attitude towards all of us there. You have given them a chance at life and they truly want to make a difference in the world. Hallelujah!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for being the amazingly wonderful, inspiring and beautiful person you are! I love you with all of my heart and soul!

Michelle
