Content with CONTENT

Hi, All! It is unfolding that this is going to be a sharing & exchanging of cultural experiences more than a “traditional” classroom experience. This in itself makes for a rewarding timeframe.
The women in the Yupukari can become more aware of possibilities. However, what then do they do with this knowledge, or awareness?
This summer will be their eye-opener (or continued from what Alice has already shown them), and they will then have to take action. (Or each year as more females gain insights, action will begin to take place).

Alice, you mentioned jumping into the “fray” in your response to Kate on the 19th. Ha, I don’t think its quite a fray, but it’s good to have an understanding. Kate, that was a good point about the tools………Alice, as we get closer to the summer, you will be again mentioning specifically what you need (that we can actually bring).

These are all “baby-steps” on the way to the larger picture. These people probably have no idea how special they are. Alice has honed in on what it means to be female. It’s probably equally amazing to consider what it means to be Yupukarian. But, many places in the world have trouble recognizing the value of the women. So, concentrating on the women’s lives is a good, solid platform. (that will naturally lead to other interesting tidbits of info.) The idea of that content creating the basis for our form of instructing and sharing is a good one. (:
