Ramata is six years old. A bright, sweet kid - she was my little shadow while I was there.

About Me
- Name: Cori Stern
George Bernard Shaw said "This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as I live it is my privilege - my *privilege* to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I love. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I've got a hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
There is definitely a part of me that tends toward "feverish, selfish little clod," a hypochrondriac who hates to fly and wants to have every available luxury and promise of comfort. I try to distract that part with well-designed travel gadgets, coffee, and an IPOD full of 70's trucker songs. Then when she's busy sipping Nescafe from her special travel mug and singing "Convoy", I get on a plane to Africa and GO.
