Beautiful work!! I am sure your kindness and presence is making people's lives and days lighter.
I loved reading your reflections, and resonated with your awe of the natural world and connections between ideas and art across time and continents. I am so lucky to be having this experience with you!
Elizabeth, it's been a joy to read about your LIA, your realizations, and interactions thus far. I know you have been amazing teacher for your students!
Thank you for your kind words Tara!
I love how you are inspiring the kids while also being aware of their respective reading levels. Great Job!
"These are girls navigating the currents of a world shaming them before they have the opportunity to explore themselves, where men make decisions for a village largely run by the labor of house-mothers." This is so eye opening and I want to thank you for relaying the conversation between the girls and the priest. We've talked about the LiA being a big project of entering a new culture and experiencing the friction between our own beliefs and the beliefs on the ground, but this is still shocking. The questions that you asked during your dance class show to me that, rather than forcing your own thoughts on them or your own opinions on the priest accosting them about the condoms, you want them to have a space to really express themselves, which undoubtedly can take off some of the pressures of the society around them. That is so beyond valuable.
Thank you! My goal is to take off at least a little bit of pressure!
This is amazing!! Although I must say, if I were you, I would be averaging three bubble teas per day.
This is so fascinating Anna! Can't wait to hear more about this in person!
I think it is very exciting that you are branching out with other tools such as ArcGIS to map out the stories you are collecting. I wish you best of luck with the rest of your project!
