An amazing number of people have donated items that are specifically what the Episcopal Church of Liberia has identified as items to help them with their work in the country. I'm not quite packed, but am glad now I hadn't finished because yesterday and today items made their way into my house (by car, UPS, and hand delivered to the door.) In particular I'm excited because donations make it possible for me to bring a selection of multicultural children's picture books. These are not "hand me downs" but new books, carefully selected by OSU education instructors. What better way to begin to network and have conversation than by sharing engaging resources.What am I taking? Take a peak—Besides sunscreen, bug spray and the usual travel necessities I have a chasuble, cope and two stoles to pack. I can't list all the formation materials, school supplies and medical equipment that the delegates collectively will carry, but I can say thank you to everyone.
This trip is about learning and explorations. I am the student. So, I really look forward to sharing with all of you upon my return. Please, keep the delegation and our hosts in your prayers. Tomorrow the travels begin...
