A Good Friday

Today was a good Friday.

This whole week has been busy but I was able to get a really big task finished today. I sent all of the information (text/graphics/photos) to the designer today so that he can officially create the PSMC program website. He will be creating the website over the next two weeks and then we will be presenting the site around May 7. Helping to get this site ready to go was a high priority item on my to do list and at least for the moment the ball is out of my court.

It felt good to check this off the list.

Also, I am helping a foundation that works with youth with addictions in El Alto plan and produce some new promotional brochures and I met with a designer today to get their project going as well.

And this morning I had a cool experience because I was able to attend a meeting where around 40 people gathered to discuss the issue of child abuse here in Bolivia. This meeting was sponsored by the Red Viva network here and it was a mix of churches and different organizations all coming together to make a stand and say that child abuse will not be tolerated here in Bolivia. They were brainstorming, planning and developing initiatives to combat this issue.

Later this year I will be more involved in these initiatives against child abuse as I help them develop a marketing/communication campaign to promote the rights of children and denounce child abuse here in Bolivia. Should be a cool campaign later this year. I continue to just stand in awe of all of the cool experiences that God is giving me here in Missionary Year One.

Here are a few shots of the group at work today...
