Nepal Medicines global Adventure begins...
hello to all you beautiful soulsTonight Ted and I fly to Nepal as part of a 9 person team traveling to deliver basic medical supplies to the people of Nepal.
We have over $100,000 worth of basic supplies, Anti biotics, blood transfusion kits, bone splints , surgery kits, sutures, womens hygine supplies vits for kids, pregnancy tests, condoms we even got some kY jelly! and over 10,000 individual anti biotic creams, something as simple as this will save the fingers of many young nepalise children who learn what fire is by sticking thier finger in it.
At the moment I am filled with excitement and pleased that a long dream of mine has become a reality.
Also we are bringing 4 students from watts as part of our youth ambassador program of which I have become the director,
these students are fresh and smart and already have overcome so many challenges, they are poor and first generation los angelinos
I met thier parnets down near watts tower on sunday after wishing Beautiful Tonia a happy happy birthday,and promised them that we would bring them home safely, the two 17 year old twin girls have never been on a plane, So here we go, off into another world 1/2 way from ours, where the simplist of things that we take for granted mean so much, we will be visiting the largest Tabetian refugee camp in nepal and also the childrens hospital in ,Kathmandu as well as making several drops of supplies to the remote outpost clinics that serve the tribes around the Annapurna treking trail. we will be trexing for 10 days arrive back in Kathmandu where I'll be having my birthday!
what I want to say is I'm taking you all with me, your smiles your laughter your wits and charm and skills
Today I bought frizzbees and bubbles and balls and ballons and I have harmnonicas and mouth harps too...and my guitar.
we gonna do it up right,
So many of you have inspired me and continue to expand my desire for travel and help and selflessness...
we all have so much to be thankful for no matter what, let's live our blessings, share our good fortunes, get out of our heads and share our hearts...
I leave you with this from my father befor i left maui.
" the light of god surrounds me
The love of god unfolds in me
The power of god flows through me...
Wherever I am
god is
and all is well....
And MY all time favorite from Henry Miller:
"The aim of life is to live,
and to live means to be aware,
Joyously, drunkenly, serenly, divinely aware.
With love and a raised cup of warm butter tea, a toast!
see you in a minute!-johnne perez a.k.a.Superjohnne
