The End
As the website will shortly reflect, our campaign and our travels have concluded. Thanks again to everyone for the crucial support and encouragment.
Within the week, I will try to post a wrap-up of sorts. At the moment, Mike and I are housesitting in Naboomspruit in order to decompress.
My next post is likely to be the last, so please feel free to let me know--by commenting here--if there is anything you would like for me to answer or address before exiting your cyberspace.

Son,
I realize this is a big disappointment. But I hope that in your last post you might celebrate some of things yoru team was able to accomplish and some of the overarching observations, questions, or lessons. Your freinds and supporters who read this can still benefit from incredible experiences you have had and the insights you have gained. This will be just a beginning debrief for you I am sure. But I believe it will be important.
With great pride in all you have done and said and learned, and are as a man, Parson Dad

Tu devais appeller ton paragraphe the biginning not the end. C'est super ce que vous avez fait. Ca a apporte de l'espoir aux personnes rencontrées sur votre chemin et en plus je suis sure que ca t'ouvre enormement de possibilités et de choix si tu veux continuer dans le meme sens (journalisme, ecriture ,ONG, Organisations internationales.. ) et si jamais ca t'interesse. C'est une experience qui vaut de l'or. En plus tu as voyage, vu tellement de pays.... tu es jeune et l'avenir est devant toi. ta recompense est d'etre quelqu'un qui a vecu quelque chose de fort et participe avec une action humanitaire et non d'avoir touche des sponsors avec les histoires ecrites sur une population du sud qui est de toute facon souvent abondonnee par le monde des riches et le monde de la consommation... c'est desolant mais c'est juste la réalité.
Alors Bonne continuation et bois une biere a ma sante.

i agree with mr. calhoun the elder. this is a trip that could (if you want it to) have reverberations elsewhere and elsewhen in your life -- i think that a few summaries, lists, etc might be a really nice way to contextualize what could variously be considered an end, a temporary stopping point, or a foundation for a beginning.
further, it may be instructive for you to give some personal future-closure to people who read this, and explain how or if you would consider using the skills you've developed, and that the many donations have paid to see grow and bear fruit... it would be very good to have a bit of an idea of where things will go afterwards, because it seems to me you have developed quite a loyal following online.
anyway. i have a cold beer waiting for you. and i bought a wetsuit. oh. and a motorcycle.

There is a question in the air, what happened with Tuuli and the rest of you. Tuuli did explain and communted missing you, but you boys have been silent. Maybe a little explanation would bind the team together. Otherwise people will fill in the gap and think of something. aiti
i agree with Fabian...you should try to wrap it all up while looking on the bright side of having done this friggin awesome voyage...i mean how many kids out there have done what you have and for such a cause?
et je suis d'accord avec jam au mois les trucs que j'ai compris.
a bientot, Nate
