The Mamba

At home we have alot of cats, and they often leave us birds or mice as presents on the doorstep.....contrast that with Liberia where you open the door to a present from a kitty that just happens to be a black mamba, one of the deadliest snakes in teh wold....who need coffee.

ABC University student business seminar
We held the first ABC University Business on Friday and Saturday this week.  Overall a great turnout with 30+ students in attendance.  We were fortunate to have Nils Wang joing us for the seminar.  He was here teaching for the business program the past two weeks and started the journey back to Arizona following the seminar today.

Nils spent time also planing out the librairies we will be constructing with LTL next summer.  In his spare time, he installed a roll up door and the basketball goals in the gym.  He was one busy man the past couple of weeks.


Two friends enjoying the Saturday reading club
After the seminar, I walked down to the communication building where Emmanuel Gaye was facilitating the Saturday reading club for some for some of the children in the community.  Emmanuel has been doing an amazing job with this program in growing and developing it.  He is one of the most dedicated students I have met and will be an amazing asset to the community when he graduates in May.  I watched for a bit as he explained the entire book to the children before he started reading.  He covered the author, illustrator, and title and their importance to the overall book.  With such limited access and exposure to books, the basics become critical components to the learning process.

I am sure tomorrow will bring more adventures.....................
