FOX News was incredibly supportive and I would go and sit with individuals and participate in with the young ones and do some reporting although my partner did the videotaping. FOX place with each other a Tv set package that aired about our vacation. We’ve done that 2 times. I continue to listen to from Mercy Ships that individuals access out for much more details dependent on the reporting that I did and which aired on Fox information. We have an intention to go and do a lengthier-expression volunteer mission at some position.
