06/16/13: After a lot of prayers, I
made a difficult decision to return home in order to address an urgent family
matter. It was one of the hardest
decisions I have had to make. I departed 6/18, arrived home 6/19, and am not
ready to stop. My heart is still in Upper Javier today. I will continue as best I can but from a distance
(so to speak).
I am so grateful for the relationships developed at Harris Memorial College and at Upper Javier, specifically Ka-Ricah, Virgean, Ruby and all the women Sewers. I am also very grateful for the opportunity to learn about teaching English as Second Language (ESL). I hope to work with the ESL program in the Houston area so that I can share learnings with Harris Memorial College.
Attached is photo of the dress sewn at Upper Javier which the women gave to me as a parting gift. I am humbled by their generosity and love the dress. The women used and modified the pattern they recently learned to sew. These women are amazing! I am very, very proud to call these women my friends and look forward to returning to Upper Javier
