Into the City and More Successes

Today was a day without a workshop which meant it was a good day for a change of pace and a drive into the city. 

At the end of this post, you will find successes from Tuesday's workshop with the staff from the Ministry of Education.  

A few sights from the day.

Due to the struggling economy and a nationwide cash shortage, ATMs are charging exorbitant fees. This $6.00 fee was the cheapest available. 

The 2006 versions of Jay and Tim, next to the 2013 versions...

And today's modern versions of the pair!

And, the best news of the day, I GOT MY LUGGAGE! I never took so much joy in unpacking. It was like seeing long-lost friends... my socks, my shirts, my toothbrush, my shoes.  

Success highlights from Tuesday's workshop...

The barriers to study will be useful because I will apply them as strategies when I am training Ministry of Education staff and teachers in the college which I teach.

Wilmot McMillan

The Practical aspect of today's teaching and the simplicity of the lessons taught won my admiration.

Leemu Minnie James

As a person, I learned that regardless of your geographical location, your mindset helps in ensuring a successful life. Sharing what you know is an act of kindness and an attribute of a genius. Importantly, I learnt that you cannot give what you do not have. I like the clear and transparent presentation that kept me up and following every detail. Thank you!

Today's lesson served as an eye-opener and a great call for action in the way we teach and learn in Liberia. I learned that we have to be good leaders and make a positive change in this sector.

Alexander Nett

 Speak truth to power keep asking questions and apply what you learned. Make the world a better place through your creativity and innovation. Never too big to learn. Transform Liberia with the knowledge acquired.

Charsley K. Kumbly, Sr.

 I think today's workshop has added something new to my learning especially those various quotes and the use of the three barriers to study. Given my position as a trainer, I think this training has added additional innovations that will be used to scale up my training capability to help my trainees.

For me, I thought life was not fair because we were not created equal, some rich and poor. Now I know that it is the individual who determines their own role in life. As a Liberian, I can recite my pledge and write it but it was today that I can define and know all of its meanings.
