I write a newsletter summary of my work every few months. I email it to a list of subscribers and CRWRC handles the snail mail portion of my list. Please email me or comment on this page if you want to receive my newsletter.
CRWRC posts my newsletter on the Laos page: (scroll to the bottom)
James and Sarah, hello!
The last newsletter CRWRC posted was from February, so are we missing others? I would love to be on your email list.
Maybe there are other more appropriate ways for me to learn, but in particular I’m interested in learning about the technical side of your work. It sounds like you’re learning a lot from them about their creative problem solving given limited resources. How is CRWRC helping you bring new innovations (hippo/aqua rollers, rope pumps, portable light, etc) and/or resources (mosquito nets, quality seed, local language Bibles, literacy materials, training materials, etc) to folks who need them? Are you working within CRWRC funding alone or are you involved in local project financing efforts, too?
Those are big questions. Perhaps the answers are interwoven into your blog already! Laos and SE Asia has specific issues I am very unfamiliar with, too, so other culture and social-environmental aspects of your work and life there are good to read about as well! What’s the situation of the schools and/or informal education there? I look forward to diving into it a bit more and to getting your newsletters.
Prayers from Brooklyn,
Greg
PS- Know any Christian folks from Santo Domingo in NYC that I should meet?
