Friday - Everyone learns what everyone else learned.

Friday, July 9, 2010

Friday activity. As we may have explained in earlier blogs, the CWU teaches three sections. Each person selects one of the sections for the entire time we are here. They are:

101 – Survey, initial contact, covenants, negotiation, and overall mission management. (Janet and Fred)
102 – Education (of the community where the system will be installed. (Linda Enskat will come to CWU in September for this section.)
103 – Installation – the actual clean water system design, installation, maintenance and operation. (Ron)

The students in each section prepared and presented to the other two sections a 90 minute summary of what they had learned. This is exceptionally valuable because
• It deepens and reinforces what we learned.
• It provides insight into how each section is valuable and necessary for a successful installation. (How the team works together.)
• It prepares the students for teaching what we learned to our mission team members back home who could not come to CWU.

We had classes today and finished all three section presentations. All presentations were well done and liberally dosed with humor, skits, songs, and just a little goofing off. The program is gelling quite nicely.

Right now, we have an unbelievable 90 minute break before our next classes. Except for sleeping each night, this is the longest personal break we have had all week. Most are napping – which sounds real good.

ZZZZZZZZZ
