I am happy to tell you that Ruby has arrived safely in Brazil, where she will spend a while with Graca and Talyta . She will no doubt move on speaking good Portuguese hahaha!! Graça and Talyta are very happy to have her company, and have promised us some photos very soon.
Ruby worries in case your name is not on the list to receive her, since she wants to go EVERYWHERE and visit EVERYONE in the Circle. She has asked me to add anyone who lets us know on here or by visiting her new online journal. You can read up on all her travels here or have fun playing her games. Meanwhile we'll continue adding anyone's name to the list who wants a visit from Ruby, and we look forward to hearing her adventures in Brazil.

Mark down the dates for Reunion 2006 on your calendars. This historic event will take place March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) to March 20th, 2006. Can't wait to meet you there!
The IV Summit Meeting of the Americas is being held in Mar del Plata on 5 and 6th November under the theme of Work, Poverty and Governability. The head of state of 34 countries will be present as well as representatives for world organizations. There is an an enormous amount of work going on in the affected parts of this city, road repairs, lighting, improving parks, security etc, which of course, the city will inherit. There will be no schools, during those days, no banks and no casino either.

LIFE BEGINS AND LIFE ENDS. WE ARE BLESSED BY THE WAKING LIGHT OF DAY AND RESTED BY THE DARK OF NIGHT. IF WE LEARN JUST ONE THING OR HELP JUST ONE PERSON THEN THAT DAY WAS WELL SPENT.
The love of God is like the ocean: you can see its beginning, but not its end.
