CURRENT MISSION

Build up the employment program at my workplace, serving the homeless youth of my community, until it has reached a maintenance stage. Then, off to the next adventure!

Plan a trip to Iceland. Mail out all those souvenirs I got folks while traveling Cameroon. They were supposed to be Christmas gifts... Finish that Kidney piñata for my friend's "being sick is the pits" party.

At the moment, wanderlusting.
