... and I shall see you in two weeks. I'm going to Ethiopia tomorrow afternoon to help facilitate a workshop for the next two weeks. I'm super excited about going, because, well, frankly, I just LOVE Ethiopia! And it's super hot and humid here, and it's been super busy, and I'm ready for a bit of a change of scene!
But, Ethiopia is not exactly known for it's high speed and available internet, and it also blocks blogspot blogs. Hence, you shall not see me for a few weeks (that is, if there are any people out there who still ready my sparse little blog anymore!)
For those of you who are praying types, you can pray for this next two weeks. I'm helping someone else from our organization facilitate a workshop on how we can help curriculum writers and teachers transition from the mother tongue of the students into the language of higher education (in this case, English). It's a fascinating area that I want to learn more about... but, well, frankly, I really need to learn more about it! So it's a bit of a daunting task to be asked to go along and help out. Although, that being said, the powers that be that asked me along also know that I'm still learning about this stuff, too, so I'm fairly certain they've asked me along as part of my own "professional development", so I can learn from someone who is much more experienced and much wiser than I!
I'll see you from the flip side, after I've waddled home with a belly fully of injera and a suitcase full of new scarves :) (Although it seems we'll be working on Satrudays, too, so I really don't know if/when there will be any time for shopping :( )
