It's getting close to the time for us to leave for Brazil. So much to do but it seems like it always gets done.
During preparation an interesting request came up.  A child in Brazil needs a pediatric walker. About 7 years ago some friends gave me a pediatric walker hoping I could take it on a WFTW trip. But the usual way is that the walkers, crutches, and canes go with the wheelchairs. This year those items weren't included with the wheelchairs. I had taken the walker to PTA school to show my students what they look like. When I heard a child needed it, I knew I had to find a way to get it there.  I finally was able to take it apart and put it in my luggage. How wonderful that a child will be able to use this walker. (Now the challenge of putting it back together once I get it to Brazil!)
