September/ 1989
Dear Friends
which I feel will be very helpful and needed working in training and
I communicating across cultures. I'm also taking one class in developing
"literacy materials. This class is designed to give experience and
guidelines in developing a program that will help nationals read their

things I've learned will help me tremendously in work overseas. Yes,
Lord willing, I will be going overseas soon. This brings me to something

determine ways PBT can expand its work in Africa. And so following
their recommendation I have begiin to make plans. Guinea is one of
the countries where I plan to travel on this trip, which will take
place in the Spring.
