sHiFr cotonsz UNDERWAY The Colombian congregation on hand to bid SANCTUARY farewell wasn't quite as large in number as the crowd that met us on our arrival, but what this group lacked in number, it made up in enthusiasm. On hand, as we prepared to shift colors and leave Buenaventura, were the friends we had made there, either through our Project Handclasp activities or on a personal level. There to say goodbye were the Catholic Nuns whose orphanages received much needed Handclasp supplies and materials, many of the patients who had been given a second chance through surgery or therapeutic equipment from the ship's hospital, the Colombian interpreters who had helped bridge the communication gap during our month's stay, a taxi cab driver who drove from Cali to Buenaventura to say goodbye to the crew members he had made feel welcome in his home town, and, of course, Henry from the International Club. As we pulled out to the sounds of the Colombian and American National Anthems, it was hard to accept the fact that most of us would never make it back to continue the friendships we had made during our short stay in Buenaventura. But our mission was only half complete, and there would be new people to meet and more Project Handclasp duties to perform. So it was Goodbye Colombia, next stop Panama Canal and Haiti.
