hmmmmm...

Well, it has been almost six weeks, and the dates of my trip have not changed. Could it be that it is really going to happen??? I think so. I think I will be going to Sri Lanka on or about January 8th. Can you believe it? I almost can... which is more than a little terrifying.

I just received an email today about what is happening at the Batticaloa Library since the return of the staff... they now have 22 youth volunteers (!!!), making them the first department in the municipal government to employ volunteers. They also used their brand new tv and dvd player to show their customers the movie of their trip to Niagara Falls, as part of their Library Week celebrations. And, they are looking at ways to promote their Sunday afternoon storytime. Wow, things are changing already! It is soooooo exciting.

As soon as I have the tickets for the trip in my hands I will let you know. ;-)
