I'm sorry to say I will miss the "virtual gathering" since I will still be in my annual retreat!


Also, if you want to do something concrete to help someone work their way out of poverty in Haiti go to www.zafen.org to make a donation or loan money through micro-financing through the Vincentina Family organization.
