Orphanage la Maison l'Arc-en-Ciel, Haiti & Tenebo on their way

Bags are packed, passport, money, kissed the kids goodbye, a last lunch together, and we're ready to get into the car. Bram's flight is out of Lyon at 6pm, so I'll stop and get some swedish groceries at IKEA first, it's right next to the airport. Lingonsylt, kalles kaviar, bilar.. this is stuff only the swedish know how GOOD it really is ;-)
Yesterday I had this warm reply from the orphanage in Haiti that we've chosen as a Tenebo project for this trip. It feels so good knowing that they appreciate that Bram, Tim and Arno take these children with them all the way to Zanskar, and so much more motivating to keep up this blog, posting hopefully photos and their travel experiences as they get going. It would be great if you guys (Tim, Bram and Arno) could make a little film when you reach Zanskar, and send a message to these children, I'll make sure it'll get posted on the FB page as soon as I get it. Hopefully this blog will be conveyed to the orphanage in a way so that the children and the staff know that we're thinking of THEM.
I'll finish todays entry by wishing the staff and children of La Maison l'Arc-en-Ciel "bon courage" and "tenebo" (together) we're strong. Here's the reply from Diane, spokeswoman for the orphanage:

La Maison l'Arc-en-Ciel is going to Zanskar valley ....incredible !!! Bonjour Jenny,
Thank you for choosing La Maison l'Arc-en-Ciel, yes the logo, the spirit of Joy for life and the smiles of the children, may be the companions of Bram, we will consider this '' un privilège '', and please keep us posted on his adventure. As you can read in the discussion section, Danielle the co-founder tries to write the progress and the needs since the earthquake, and we just heard that another one occured at 6:03, short and hopefully with no damages.
May Bram reach is goal, safely, and do not hesitate to ask any questions or comments, we will be glad to hear from you.
Please confirm that I can translate and share your request to the french members of FB and also on the website...!
Mèsi Anpil Jenny
