Visitors & Summer Fun

We've had groups of visitors from the USA, for 3 weeks in June, arriving in "teams" to help La Comunidad Aljarafe with various exchange events and projects. One group from Gainesville, Florida met with about 7 computer science professors to learn about their research project to help handicapped persons having low mobility be able to communicate better and carry out their commands through a "smart home." Veronica is explaining here.And Professor Alberto presented their findings, to start things off... We hosted several afternoons (well-- let's explain... "midday" in Spain is about 2-4 p.m. so "afternoon" in Spain starts at about 6 p.m until 9 p.m.!) of "Ferias de la Familia" or Family Fairs in parks in Bormujos ...

Here we are on campus in the computer science building -- a special English Club time with volunteers from Tennessee.... (I'm on the front row)
With my buddies Jose Maria, and Daniel (visiting from Caceres), at one outdoor "Feria de la Familia". They did concerts, taught country dancing, did crafts & games...

We also had a few youth parties in our "local" (store -front, cafe- looking building) in Bormujos, which is a suburb of Sevilla. This is where we have worship on Sundays and English Chats during the week.

A few mornings they came on campus with me to survey university students using "Soularium"-- which has 5 questions about students desires and life as well as spiritual things, using 50 photos.
