Anza-Borrego 2012

Interesting couple of weeks to end January and begin February 2012
The cohort Dan and Dudley worked with for the past 4 years defended their dissertations and will graduate in June. We all met for a meal at Roberta and Dudley's home to celebrate.

These shots give you an idea of how colorful and delightful the Samo are when they dress up!



This gives an idea of the journey the books and equipment took from Los Angeles to Honinabi. We did have to pay for 2 of the 6 large cases we took, but that was still more cost effective than mailing them.

We caught the very moment the light went on in the office of the new double classroom at Honinabi in Western Province, Papua New Guinea. What a day of celebration for the Samo students and the solar panels and needed equipment was provided by funds raised by the students at Pasadena Christian School. CRMF in Goroka, PNG provided the labor and David to get everything working right.

During our 3 weeks in the Samo area, Georgia taught 7 Samos to use the computer. Three Bible translators and four teachers learned to use the laptops supplied by the funds raised by the students from Pasadena Christian School.

August 23, 2011 Dan and I were honored by the Samo as they established the KAREN SHAW MEMORIAL LIBRARY. Pictured here are Philip the headmaster of the school, and teachers Robin, Washio and Sharon.
