we pulled into this little village on mission 1 delivering supplies.
\ni met this man that was very appreciative of what we took. he was
\nstoked to get new underpants and a sleeping bag. i told him i was
\nfrom hawaii and i’ll be back.
\nthe following week for mission 2, we went back. he wasn’t around when
\nwe got there but came out of the evacuation center right before we
\nleft. he said “hey, your the guy from hawaii! i remember you!” he
\nwas really happy to see us back there. we talked, took photos, and
\nlaughed. a lot happier man than mission 1 for sure. when it was time
\nto say goodbye, i tapped him on the shoulder and said “hey, i’ll be
\nback again.” he looked up, became completely silent for 5 seconds,
\nand just broke down. a grown man crying was hard to take. our crew
\nalmost lost it. i held my emotions and said again “i’ll be back.”
\nturned around, and left. as i we were waving bye and driving away,
\nall kinds of emotions were running through my mind. i could feel the
\npain of him and others sitting on the hill waiting for help to
\narrive. 5 weeks later and still dead bodies under the debris that
\nwere scattered across the whole village. i’m glad my team held up.
\nif i were alone, i would have broke down in tears, which i promised
\nmyself i wouldn’t. staying strong for this past month was the hardest
\nthing i ever had to do in my life. am i a stronger person? no. i
\njust know how to walk away from an emotional situation. and i don’t
\nknow if that’s good or bad.
\nmission 3, i’ll be back to that village and i hope i see some change.
\nif i don’t i’ll personally start cleaning up the mess myself. there’s
\nno reason for what’s happening up there now….<\/p>\n
