Salem State University's Liberian Peacebuilders' Fieldwork Initiative
(RSS links to each participant's blog can be found at the bottom of this page.)
A Quick Friday Update
The group leaves GUMMS tomorrow morning, but not before they use the XOs to help map the dimensions of the fish pond. The XOs will be used to supplement the work that Sarah has been doing with a GPS to map over 300 acres of the mission.
This mapping of the pond comes after the group helped drain and count fish in the pond! Apparently some of the students got temporarily stuck in the mud at the bottom of the pond. I can't wait to see those pictures!
Training with the XOs went well and two keystone teachers and the school librarian have become highly engaged in the work.
Tomorrow the group returns to Monrovia and will leave Liberia on Sunday.
On the Road to GUMMS
Traveling from Monrovia to Ganta on Tuesday, March 12th.
Ready to Begin Work at GUMMS
The group finally made it to GUMMS late yesterday, Tuesday, afternoon. They couldn't get transportation from Monrovia on Monday and their van had some mechanical problems along the way on Tuesday.
So today, Wednesday, will be their first 'work day'. However, today is a national holiday in Liberia, J.J. Roberts', the first president, birthday, so school won't be in session. We'll have to wait and see what Greg and Joe have worked out for today. Apparently there are plans to partially drain the pond to identify the types and amount of fish that are currently there.
