After settling into the house where I was staying and taking a much needed shower, the “SITAG Family” (Solomon Islands Translation Advisory Group) gathered for a potluck dinner together in the new Dormitory.  A number of years ago when Tim was director, he signed the paperwork for the purchase of the piece of land near our offices where the dorm now sits.  When we left there were only cement posts and the start of the building process.  The building is amazing and is being used a lot for workshops and training the national translators.

What Tim has been up to in Spain…

Monday
First day of the meeting.  We spent the whole day reporting on each other’s situations around the world.  What a diversity of contexts!  Each region, and even sub-region has it’s own unique challenges, and yet we all face similar challenges as we seek to help bring more effective education to the minority children of the world.

Tuesday
We’ve finished our second day.  Mostly discussion of issues and how to work together more effectively.  I lead a short discussion to look at ways to share information with each other more effectively as we are scattered all over the globe.
