Didn’t get a chance to buy a pair of adjustable glasses as part of our “glasses project” PCPP grant a year ago? Now, you can buy a pair directly off the Eyejusters website, and you‘ll be contributing another pair to the developing world. Just thought I’d help spread the word. For $55, you get a pair […]

To England and Back Again
There’s a scene in an episode of the Simpsons where Bart & Lisa are in London and walk into a candy store. The store owner warns Bart and Lisa to be careful, saying, “Word to the wise, British candy is a bit sweeter than what you’re used to ‘cross the pond,” but not heeding his warning, the […]

If it hasn’t been obvious, life in Morocco has been somewhat worrisome lately. I’ve had a few days where I thought to myself that vacation in America couldn’t get here soon enough and a few other days where the idea of going home to America scared me to death, too. Some worries I’ve shared. […]
Post-Pre Service Training, or everything I needed to know to execute a cool project
It’s been kind of a long, tough week. Actually, that’s an understatement. Let me back up. Everybody knows my love for Wabash. My undergrad was kind of a tight-nit community, a bubble of sorts. We called it “Camp Wabash” as a joke because it felt more like summer-camp than it did like college. So, naturally, if you’re […]
