We also trimmed the Conrod tree that day, and I was included as one of the family. We even took family pictures. It was a lot of fun, especially with the kids!
After tutoring in Cameroon, Africa, for 6 months, I have returned to assist and train with an itinerant teacher. Working with the kids of missionaries is never dull, and I enjoy my job! I also hope to learn more about education here, to help with reform in developing education systems. My life mission statement: Placing myself in the service of others to benefit the last, the least, the forgotten and the lost; leveraging influence and skill set on behalf of the voiceless.

Day 19 - December 2nd
First off, that day I finally got to have a good chat with Desma Abbott about, well, lots of things. Mainly about the future - both here in Cameroon, and the longer-term future. I really enjoyed talking with her. She has much wisdom to offer. She has been here serving for some years, and was here with the Baka even before she met her husband. She has an excellent understanding of the language and the culture, and it is evident from talking to her that she loves the Baka people dearly.
