On the road again...so after our visa run & break w/ friends & fam we got back to Calang & got back to work! Top pix is Jos doing his best on the "slippery slope of no return," followed by elephant "tracks" (looking forward to when we can post a REAL elephant pix!), 3rd pix down is a meeting in the community we're working in doing a process called "social mapping." With this process, community members use locally available materials (here - leaves, rocks, etc.) to map out their community - strengths & needs. This is great for including a majority of opinions, & especially friendly process for folks who haven't learned to read/write yet. Last pix was a truck (not ours) that maxed out the ferry...hmm, guess we won't try that way in ours!

How great that you are getting into social mapping and all that empowering stuff! I'd love to see a pregnancy update entry- with belly pics :-) Now that Jen delivered, it's Julie next and then you lead the Fall pack. Love you!
