Just had a wonderful chat with my WCC family at their Harvest Dinner last night. Despite technological challenges, I was able to be heard! Thanks so much to Dad, Mom, Jeff, Bernie, Greta, Terese and everyone else who helped collaborate to make it happen!
I shared about a class we started in basic bookkeeping for a women's group here in Gemena, so I here are some photos of the class. These ladies have been a blessing to me, and so willing to learn something new!

| Drama depicting good business practices, i.e. keeping organized records of sales. The ladies liked their drama so much at class that they decided to perform it for their church the following Sunday! |

| Here's our practice "checkbook". We use plus and minus signs for debit and credit to help our illiterate group members. |
 |
| This woman is writing "kosomba", "to sell" for the very first time in her life! I think starting up women's literacy classes might be the next endeavor. |
 |
| Our checkbook, complete with symbols to represent purchases and items sold, although it's hard to see in this picture. Every woman received a notebook and pen to practice this week, and we'll come back next week to see how everyone did keeping track of their finances. |
Christine, this is great! I could really use this checkbook class too, I think.
