determination. . .


this is sonel a couple days before i left getting into his wheelchair by himself. i am struck my his determination to be able to do this. i had told him a few weeks before that someday when his arms got stronger he would be able to get into his chair himself. i didn't think it would be that soon for him to be able to do it. but he was determined and did a great job, a little pulling on his stomach and then he turned himself around. there are days when i get frustrated or discouraged, or perhaps don't have the willpower to accomplish what needs to happen. this is such a great reminder and inspiration to continue to push on!
i will try to write a bit more about his story and what has happened for him since i have left haiti soon. . .
