History 20
We began watching the movie 'Gandhi' (about the first half hour). For tomorrow, just go straight to the chapel. This is a long movie, and it does drag in parts, but it is worth it. History doesn't just happen in Europe, and this movie highlights the career of Mohatmas Gandhi and his evolution from a privileged lawyer to a freedom fighter who lead his nation peacefully to independence. I believe there is much that we can learn from this movie as is gives us an insider's view into Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence. His ideas can be a template for how we can also fight for freedom in our own time.

Adriana Koehn, the MCC rep that hosts us in Guatemala, has liked our facebook page! She let me know that she is encouraged by all of the work you are doing here, in Canada, on behalf of the people of Guatemala and El Salvador. Remember, all of our little acts, like drops of water, can create a bucket of change in the world. Also, our inaction or negative acts can cause harm. Your actions matter!
