Warsaw, Thursday 9 May

We have had a great second day in Warsaw. Today we spent about six hours at Uniwersytet Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego (UKSW), where Professor Entwistle and Professor Harris presented lectures to Polish students. After the lectures, we joined a class with the Polish students that we met yesterday and participated in interactive exercises designed by the students to help us better understand nonverbal communication skills. After a quick lunch, we explored the Polish culture through an elaborate Polish pottery shop. We had dinner at a kebob restaurant where we all tried new foods.  Having enjoyed a beautiful day with sunny skies, we returned to our hotel to debrief and to pray.  We are looking forward to traveling to the home town of Don and Betty Orr tomorrow morning.

    Warsaw is one of the historical places to visit on holidays and a lot of students want to because of it's nature and culture. As we all know students get a tough schedule and to manage that while traveling they hire assignment writers in Dubai so they can manage the schedules while students can freely enjoy their trip.

11 Maj, 2013 – Bielsk Podlaski

Today we traveled from Białystok to a church in Belsk Podlaski - about 90 minutes south of Białystok - where we assembled 8 Ikea tables and 32 Ikea chairs that were purchased for the church with some of the funds that we raised for our trip.  The tables and chairs will be used for a fellowship hall that was built in an attic space above the church.  After we got done, we were treated to coffee, tea, and fresh punchki, a traditional Polish doughnut, usually filled with a small amount of jam and covered with melted sugar, powdered sugar, or chocolate.  We then arranged the tables and covered them with hundreds of articles of clothing that had been collected by the medical university students to give to those in need.  Afterwards, several families came by and went through the clothing, taking what they could use.  On a dare, Dr. E. tried to slip on a pair of four inch stilettos – let’s just say that his feet and legs were not meant for walking in high heels. When we were done at the churc

Don't Think of the Misery

“For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” - Elie Weisel,  Night Today we visited Auschwitz. It is hard to put into words what we felt and experienced. The Holocaust is something we have all learned about in school for a long time, and a couple of us have visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. and read memoirs written by survivors.  This experience, however, was much different because instead of learning about something that happened in another country before we were born, it was something that happened on the ground we were standing on. Going into the day, we expected the visit to be emotionally difficult but were surprised at how distant we felt. Even though it was right in front of us, what ha

Sunday in Sosnowiec

> We were split up in twos and threes between host families last night but joined together at church today. We enjoyed hearing familiar worship tunes sung in the very different sounds of the Polish language. After church we separated again with our host families, and tomorrow will return to the church to paint and to work on preparing the floor in the new sanctuary for the next phase of construction.
