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 9 - November 22nd
The evening of the 22nd we worshiped with the Baka. The service is called "Likano," which loosely translates as "story telling." It is also what they call their traditional stories. They sang songs (I was able to pick up the harmonies on one and sing along), prayed, and then we listened to a recording of the Bible story about the Tower of Babel. The leader used me as an example as they talked about the story afterwards - how I couldn't understand (as I found out later). It was cool to worship in the dark, too, not worried about the others as we all just focused on God in the dim firelight.
