Helle hello hello,

The day off was much needed. However, back to the grind today.
Kadie and I were required to pinpoint destinations on an entire world map
that CWF has sent sick kids. (Children's Wish Foundation)

It was fun to see all the places the kids have gone to. We were also require to look
at their files and see what sort of sickness they were diagnosed with and why they
wanted to travel to this certain place.

Most kids wanted to see their families, or meet celebreties such as Hilary Duff, Jonas Brothers,
Dog the Bounty Hunter. Some of the places kids went were, Fiji, Australia (of course), Germany, Ireland and the main attraction Disneyland, California.

When looking through the files of the children, it was a bit heart breaking to read when they passed away. Some passed away shortly after they recieved their wish. Photos and thank you notes cluttered in the files. So many hidden messages of optimism that the public needs to see.

After the worldwide wishes board is complete, I will post photos. Then we are required to make a bulletin board of the thank you notes and photos of sick kids. That will be another task I am really looking forward to.

As for now, that's all-- stay tuned for more
