This afternoon, the I accompanied the Conrods to Nkolbikon, a Baka camp about 30 minutes from ours. We took them new clothes, including a sweet collection of CUTE pillowcase dresses (google it to see the possibilities) for many of the young girls. So so cute! Asher and Boaz played soccer with the boys for a while, too, and I joined in, even though I have no soccer skills. Later we had Likano with them, where we sang songs, and then heard the Christmas story (a recording they could all listen to). Then we played more with the kids, until it was getting dark, and time to go. Then we bumped, bumped, bumped all the way home! :-)
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 40 - December 23rd
This morning I went to market at Dimako with Heidi and Jenn (and Annabella). We had fun, other than being heckled by a few guys who had clearly started their Bonne Annee celebrations early. Meh.
