NightLight

I have added a new link on the right side. It is called "Group of the Month". Each month I will put a new aid group that is doing good things for people. This month it is NightLight Ministries. They have started a jewelry business that hires women and girls they bring out of Bangkok brothels. Give their site a look.

Went to the beach today and got properly sunburned. The weather has been really pleasant here the past week, compared to the week before. I think it should stay in the mid to upper 80s (30s) for next week.

I have planned a trip for the youth in Keneta to go downtown and get a tour of the archeological work being done at the amphitheater. Durres has the largest Roman amphitheater in the Balkans, and right now a team of Italians is working on digging out a new portion. The director of the archeological museum has agreed to give us a tour of the dig and tell us more about the amphitheater and the old castle walls. Durres has a rich history. Each time crews excavate at building sites, they seem to uncover new archeological finds. At one site they just found the first Hellensistic period pottery to be found in Durres.

Hi David
I was reading your profile thinking: what exactly do you do when you're involved in community development?
