*sigh* … this was probably the most important lesson I learned in Sri Lanka. I have to admit, there were quite a few times while I was there and thought to myself: “What the hell am I doing here?!” Despite how capable I like to believe I am, I now know I can’t do everything [...] Words you’d rather NOT hear from your doctor.

I just spent 4 days living in an IDP (internally displaced persons) camp in Mullaitivu and helped build the foundation of the building we’re putting up; the experience of a lifetime in just 4 days.
