Tomorrow (actually, just a little later this morning) my nomadic life takes another turn: I begin orientation with the Mennonite Central Committee (www.mcc.org) for my trip to Vietnam. I'm taking the early morning train from Albany, NY to Akron, Pennsylvania. Next Saturday the 18th, I fly out of Philadelphia, through Los Angeles, on to Taiwan, and finally, 30 some hours later, to Hanoi. I'm not quite sure what my days will look like. My official title is "Communications Officer and Peace Intern," which could include web-site updating, writing journal articles, helping with documentaries, planning MCC interfaith conferences, teaching workshops in communication, and doing PR for a new NGO. I might also be able to get involved in the music scene in Hanoi by taking lessons on a traditional instrument or playing my flute in some ensemble. I thing I know for SURE that I'll be doing is learning Vietnamese!
So... signing out until Hanoi...

Hi Anna,
ReplyDeleteYou are in our thoughts and prayers as you start another adventure. I remember the Vietnamese people that I encountered in the late 1960's and early 1070's as very friendly. Let us know how you are doing and if you need anything.
