What a Week

This week has been very full. I got back to Portland very late last night after a 4-day business trip to the east coast for my "day job" with the Center for Social Innovation. Our team helped to facilitate a 2-day training conference for the Homelessness Resource Center and a 1-day"Plan to End Homelessness" summit for York County South Carolina. A full week with an amazing range of experiences and learnings.

HBI is about to "jump" (into the deep end of the pool) into our busy season. In a couple of weeks our first team of 2010 will be joining HBI staff in Arequipa. Quickly on the tails of the Affinity Outreach Trip, we will have our Third Annual Arequipa Healthcare Conference and Training Symposium. The first week of May is our Andina Fundraiser event with a silent auction. In mid-June we will be taking a large "Team Peru" group for a 3-week campaign.

This is going to be a very busy and productive year for HBI. We, the staff, volunteers and supporters of our great organization, are really excited for a new set of challenges and a tremendous amount of learning.

PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING us for one of these fantastic opportunities. As always, thank you for supporting HBI and the work we are doing to build "bridges" for change.
