Presenting While at Home

Since I have been back I have had the opportunity to tell many stories. Most have been randomly conjured to my mind when Tim and I have been talking. However, the "formal" presentations that I have done have been very interesting indeed. My supporters who sponsored me on the trip were invited to a luncheon and presentation a week after I was back. This made the first week quite stressful, because it takes a lot of time and thought to piece together a powerpoint presentation. Especially when it is on a testy HP computer.

Anyways, this semester I am in a class called "Promoting Health Globally," which I had the option of doing a presentation on work I've done overseas, or writing a tedious paper. I chose the former and presented last week to my class. My dear professor apparently enjoyed my presentation very much (even though I honed it to present on the global health issues and challenges in two sites in Kenya because I had a time limit). She recommended me to the head of Global Health at the U of I and now I am giving that same presentation at the annual Global Health Studies Reception in November.

God has blessed me abundantly.
