Kathy finally receives gift

After four months, our fearless leader Ed delivered our gift to Kathy Butler, the GSE coordinator who organized our trip. It’s a piece of artwork made by the residents of a drug and alcohol rehab center in Sao Jose dos Campos. Ed had a plaque mounted on it after he returned home.

It was big and fragile, but so touching that we lugged it across Brazil and back to the U.S. for Kathy because, face it, she deserved something a little bigger and better than a typical souvenir. We all took turns carrying it but Mike ended up putting it in his suitcase for the flight home. That’s what he gets for having the widest bag.

Though we’ve said it before, I’ll say it again for all of us. Thanks so much for all your work Kathy.

Here’s some photos.
