Part II: Back in the States, Recapping our Adventures

We have returned from our first chapter of the "Puppet Treehouse in the Skies" project.  For more about our project beginning, read "Part I: The Face of Opportunity".

Judy, Demetri, and adventure bunny Willow Wabbit, eagerly set forth on an exciting journey abroad!  We had the incredible opportunity to hear from an amazing collection of speakers, from Lord Digby Jones to British Airways CEO Willie Walsh.  We met organization leaders working with fantastic projects around the world.  Inspiring, to say the least.

The next leg of our journey took us from London to Thailand.  We trekked from...

Bangkok to Ayutthaya to Phuket and beyond, meeting with leaders in the NGO community.  Three weeks later, we had met with representatives from various groups working on public health issues from sustainable community development to HIV/AIDS prevention.  We learned about Thai culture and social dynamics.  We experienced Thai agriculture and cuisine (Willow's favorite part, yum!).  We discussed the possibility of bringing Puppet Treehouse to Thailand and have some great ideas for returning with strong community-based programming!

All in all, a wonderful and productive trip.  We look forward to continuing our "Puppet Treehouse in the Skies" project, bringing quality site-specific health education opportunities to communities near and far.  Thanks, British Airways, for helping us get "launched"!
