Argentina
Our family has embarked on an adventure to the southern hemisphere - to the Sierras Chicas northwest of Cordoba in central Argentina. We will be living at La Lucena Environmental Learning Center in the town of La Pampa, where David will be teaching classes to school children from the urban areas of Argentina. Lise will be writing, helping with projects as needed and shepherding the boys through this new experience. Colby and Tremayne will be participating where they can at La Lucena as well as eventually attending formal school for the first time in their lives - in Spanish! If you want to follow this Abazs journey, just click on the updates as they are added to this electronic journal. We look forward to sharing our experiences and reflections along the way. The most recent entries are at the top.
In Peace, David, Lise, Colby and Tremayne Abazs.
