Goa-Southern India
We are know on the southern coast of India meeting with a man named Jason Job and his family. Jason has two children of his own and cares for thirteen young orphans. In addition to providing care for these children, Jason manages a training center for other orphan caregivers. Currently, there are 65 men participating in a ten week training program. These men have travleled from all parts of India at their own expense to obtain the skills necessary to care for orphan children.
Jason is an excellent example of how this program is working. Jason is an orphan himself who was dropped off at a train station along with his younger siblings. His father said "wait here I will be right back", but his father never returned. I wanted to ask Jason how long he waited at the station before he realised that his father was not ever coming back but I could bring myself to ask the question. I could tell the experience was painful even though it occured almost twenty years ago.
This program works, it just needs additional support from people like us. We don't have to give a lot because a little goes a long way for children who have nothing. You have to come here and see this miracle for yourself, words are inadequate....
Hi to my family,
Thanks for the cards, I love you very much. The seperation is hard on us but I will be home soon!!!

Sounds like you guys are doing awesome now that everyone has deodorant. We've had a pretty decent swell all week from Helene. Now that the beef is here we have a nice SE wind to screw it up.

Hi 'Cliff the Elder',
This is the 'Younger'. Okay, not by much but...
Well old man, it is good to see that you are able to still get around.
The other night at Alpha, someone got us mixed up and thought I was Amy's husband. They were suprised that I wasn't in India. Who expects more than one Cliff in a thousand square miles or so? So I had to clarify... I explained to the staff member, that related it to me, that if Amy was that happy and excited to see me that there must be something very wrong indeed! :)
Man does she miss you.
