This and That!

Greetings once again from Africa University!!  I have been on campus almost two weeks, and have been super busy with students.  I think I must SAVE after each paragraph so as not to lose everything.  Wrote two blogs last night, but I think the system was too slow to save them long enough to Publish!

1)     The sights, sounds, and rhythm of AU has changed since first semester.  Many of the faces and friends I made have left the campus to spend this year (Jan. - Dec.) on their internship assignments.  There are still a few who haven't found anything in their field, so please pray that they will be successful.

2)     The exciting thing is that there are about 200 NEW faces on campus ~~ those final year students who have returned for their final semester, having completed their internships in Dec.  So, I never know who I might meet over the lunch or dinner table!!!  Having met many of them during our visits last week to all of the dorms, it is clear that they are now more settled and serious about doing everything possible so they can graduate this June.  Since many of them are the first in their family to receive a college education, many family members will come for this great celebration!!
