The Team and the schedule

Sharon will be 75 when she gets back from this trip - her 10th or so with Global Volunteers. She is an ordained Lutheran pastor and pastor's wife who did mission work when her children were small in Ethiopia.

Barbara worked for the government in Vietnam during the war, flew transports into restricted areas and survived the bombing of Saigon in the Tet Offensive.

Francesca is 20, college senior at Kentucky, but her folks are in Switzerland and brother in Denmark so she spends all holidays in Europe.

I am feeling like Midwest Womder Bread! These ladies are fascinating. Good team.

We teach 6 45-minute periods a day, 8:30-4. The mornings are easy - kids behave and learn. After lunch it is chaos. Especially since this private school goes back a month earlier than regular so they know their friends are out there having more fun than the Hokey Pokey!
