FTL books arrive in Yanji...






In August Brian launched Freedom Through Learning and we have been busy emailing people and contacting organizations and schools ever since. The virtual warehouse is beginning to build and we even have a few schools from developing nations that have been registered! At TCIS we have connections with a community in China called Yanji (some of our students have parents who are missionaries there) and over the Chusok break about 30 people from our school community traveled to Yanji. Tucked inside suitcases and carry-on bags were sets of textbooks, hand-delivered by our colleagues as part of a Freedom Through Learning exchange. Here are some photos of books being delivered (it was quite a pile!) and there are a few more sets of textbooks now awaiting shipment the old-fashioned way (sponsors are needed, too, just in case you're interested). Check out the web site: www.freedomthroughlearning.org. We're pretty excited about how this little movement may grow... :)
