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 64 - January 16th
I did calculus today, after not doing any higher math for about 2 1/2 months. Call me what you will, but that was the highlight of my day, that I still could do some of the problems.
I had a GREAT day at RFIS (Rain Forest International School). All the faculty and staff made me feel welcome, and I got to check out 8th, 10th, and 12th grade classes. I sat in History, Humanities (Bible and Western Civ combined), English Literature, and Calculus, of course. The teachers were from literally all over.
I ate a Cameroonian lunch - fried egg sandwich with peppers and spaghetti. It was pretty good! And I enjoyed chatting with students and teachers who all can eat in the same outdoor pavilion. I enjoyed my visit, so thanks, RFIS!
