We were chock-a-block full in our workshop room today for the first day of our Writer's Workshop! It was amazingly exciting to see the room packed full of people from 5 different language groups who have gathered to learn more about writing in their own languages! Mostly teachers and pastors, these guys are working in their language communities to help develop reading material and teaching both adults and children to read. So they need to know how to write, so the people they're teaching actually have something to read!
So far, things are going really well. We got almost all the people that we expected to come, we started on time and they're extremely punctual for everything, the logistics of the guesthouse and teas and lunches for 30 of us is going amazingly well... it was a great start to the day! I got to teach all about "Descriptive Writing", which, to me, is quite exciting. Imagine, here I am, in the middle of Africa, working with people to help them learn to write! How is it that I'm so blessed to have such an amazing job?!
