You may be wondering why we happen to be in this far away place. We came to help with a developing university called The American Campus. It is under the direction of a man who grew up here but now lives in Utah, together with many American backers including USU, DSU, and 3 other universities.
We were planning to teach classes here starting this month, but the work here is stalled and somewhat in disarray. The hardworking staff here have encountered problems like unsuitable classroom space, delays in local program approvals, lack of equipment and furniture, changes in plans by enrolled students, etc etc etc . . . which has left us without classes to teach, but on the bright side gives us more time to see the beautiful countryside and visit the beach!
Current plans are to support the ongoing development, teach some short courses, develop degree programs for January semester, and meanwhile help where we can in the 3 small branches here in the Mauritius District of the Madagascar Mission. What could be better?
