Adam –

I’ve been following your blog for the past year, to see all your joys and challenges; its been wonderful to see and read about these moments, since they bring back so much memories of my working with the tsunami orphans in May of 2005 near Hikkaduwa. We stayed at a small hotel in Unawatuna, so all the locations in and around Galle you mentioned are SO familiar as if it was yesterday. I’m so glad you’re doing this, and having this profound experience. Cherish it wholly and keep grabbing opportunities like this. I have to admit, the sanguine nature of the people in the pictures and the surroundings seem to register a sense of recovery – so I’m glad to see they’re bouncing back rather quickly. I know a wonderful Sri Lankan restaurant in New York – so if you ever come in this general direction, let’s trade stories there! Ayubowan – G

Have read all and delighted with the contents.

I think you have a fantastic ability with words, describing your ventures in previous blogs and think you should look at putting a book together about your life to inspire not only people with a loss of hearing, but people in general would thoroughly enjoy your depictive writing. A life full of extroidinary vim and vigour, inspiration, perserverance, compassion for others and aquired understanding of needs. Keep it up.

Thanks for showing Ginette around and enabling her to help out where she can, it’s character building for anyone.

Wow– great pix! Loved the one of the Mask Museum store– that’s one of the kinds of the few stores I’d shop in if I traveled there… Thanks for sharing with us!

It’s a rainy Monday morning here in Thailand and I really should be preparing lessons for my incomming classes, but instead, I was swept away with your photos. It was such a pleasure to me to see the faces of old friends, places I miss and what seems like a magical festival I have never even imagined. Thanks for taking the time to post all the pics Adam

Dear adam :Your pictures are amazing,and are sooo you! We loved allthe light displays and the lanterns especially. But my favorite shot was the elegant tea you and Ginette enjoyed. America will be “pale ” in comparisonwhen you return. Stay well and come home safely soon.
Love,G&G

Hi Adam!
Loved your pictures and comments. The games looked like a lot of fun. I bet your parents liked seeing you on that motor bike, no helmet or shoes (ok, that would be my own stuff!) Glad to see you did not get hurt!
love,
Debbie
