Raconteur – Friday February 7th

Adventures in Bolivia

Join us on Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. as our new Raconteurs coordinator, Linda Polsson, takes us on an adventure to South America.
Linda set off to live in the remote Amazon rainforest in Eastern Bolivia in
the mid-1980s. It was a life-changing adventure. She and a group of 10 singles from Canada and the United States flew into the city of Santa Cruz for language study and orientation with a Christian non-profit organization.
In the 300-person village of Barrio Lindo, she lived in a small mud hut with nurse roommate Edie from Pennsylvania and across the way from agronomist Dean from South Dakota. It was a small, subsistence, rice-growing farming community beyond the reach of electricity or running water.
What an adventure for young adults who were ready to take on the world and share their “expertise” in development. They experienced both fun times and difficult times while wonderful relationships were formed that continue to this day. Come and enjoy learning
about her life-changing adventure!

Don’t forget your twoonie!
