When I first found out the "options" for projects this summer, most of the links for the ministry websites were broken. So of course, like any good college student, I googled all of the country names. Gabon was the least familiar to me. But as soon as wikipedia taught me the national language is French, I was hooked :) I fell in love with the French language in high school, when I went to France with People to People. I've only taken three years in high school, and haven't used it much since then, but I'm excited to be able to understand and communicate in Gabon, even just a little bit.
Next I started investigating the project and the ministry. The project, PK27 Social Ministry Outreach Center, is part of a ministry called E4. E4 is an organization that partners with indigenous churches and organizations to Educate, Engage, Equip and Empower the Gabonese people. PK27 is their first project: 62 acres just outside of the capitol city, Libreville which will serve the wholistic needs of the community.
Our role will be to survey the site and create a master plan for all of the different programmatic needs of the project.
On another happy note, I'm getting even closer to reaching my fundraising goal!
