A final note from Bruce

A final note from Bruce
As I write this, our children are spending their last afternoon with their hosts. In a few short hours we will celebrate our closing party, thank our hosts and depart for our long journey home.
Your children will be overwhelmed with the enormity of the experience and will need time to process what they have done. Please don't attack them asking them to share immediately. Instead, give them a day or two, or better yet sit with them over the weekend, looking at the blog with them and talking about what they did. Give them time to process, allow them to absorb their experience and by waiting, you will actually hear and learn more. 
Karen joins me in thanking you for allowing us to share this experience with your children. They were a great group and we loved helping them learn to love the land and the people of Israel. Thank you for trusting us with them, for being so willing to host our Israeli partners in April. 
We will see you at the airport in the morning!
