Church Pursuit – Aftermath

December 6, 2010

So, I went to Eloisa’s church yesterday. So yes, if you thought that it wouldn’t continue then you can go shove your lack of faith in me up your…well, you know what I mean. I mean her church was “Born-Again Christian”, so most of my time there was dominantly spent on listening to praise songs […]

Church Pursuit

This Sunday, my partner and I finally decided to take the initiative and go to her church…finally. After all the delays, we are going to discuss the issues of Sierra Leone and Afghanistan. I feel sort of accomplished that we have a plan worked out. Also, we’ve decided that raising awareness just wasn’t enough for […]

I always talked about Sierra Leone’s history, literature, all that antique good stuff. I’m a modern teenager living in Canada. My life is ordinary, I’m living a better life than my parents had. I do ‘ordinary teenager’ things like hang out with my friends, blah, blah, blah. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the old […]

Today, I did another lecture for Ms. Visy’s class in St. Rose of Lima. And I have to say., everything went according to plan. We agreed to meet in Father Lacombe first, since she was ill for a whole week. She needed to give the field trip form to Mr. Sauer, so that we’ll both be able to […]

I needed to work on a new pursuit…and fast. So, I’m going to lecture for another class this week, and pray that everything goes according to plan this time. I’ve got my field trip signed and ready to go. But it’s Tuesday…and my partner is not in school. She wasn’t here yesterday either. Oh no. […]

Spreading Awareness

I finally found the pictures from my trip to St. of Lima! My plan of action for this particular project was to spread awareness of the child soldiers in Sierra Leone and the importance of education in schools. Now, I’m a very timid person and public speaking…is not for me. Well, it’s not that I’m […]

St. Rose of Lima Take 1

Remember when I said I would go to St. Rose of Lima this week to talk about the Millenium Development Goals? Yup, that was today. I’ve arrived at the school with my siblings and I blended in for a few minutes…but apparently new people are all the rage so I was bombarded with numerous questions […]

I finally got a schedule for St. Rose of Lima! I’m suppose to go in for this Friday, but due to numerous conflicts of schedules, I requested (begged) my sister to ask her teacher Ms. Cao to change it to next Friday. I’ll have news by tomorrow if she is willing to change the date. […]

It was difficult to get a hold of Chaplin Mike throughout the week. When I was about to inquire about volunteering at the shelter, he was discussing something with a teacher. If he’s not with a teacher…he’s with a student. Then yesterday I went to his office with the hope that he was just inside…he […]

I was able to complete reading “The Heaven Shop” and although the ending wasn’t a happily ever after…in a way, it was. It was one of those books where in the beginning and the middle, the plot begins to thicken. Everything seems to keep going wrong! Just when life is starting to look up for […]
