Putting together the gifts

Barb:  Still working out access, but here is brief update: Our Johannesburg guide's name is Happiness and she gave us one of our first interesting tidbits about Johannesburg-- it's the only major city in the world that is not on water (river, lake, ocean). It is on gold, however!


After dinner everyone in our delegation gathered to pool our gifts for the various programs and people that we are visiting.  We created gift bags to deliver as we go.  


My gifts came from Redleaf Press, of course:

All the Colors We Are by Katie Kissinger, Theories of Childhood, by Carol Garhart Mooney, Visionary Director by Deb Curtis and Margie Carter, and Prime Times by Jim Greenman,  Anne Stonehouse, & Gigi Schweikert. 


I would have brought more but I was constrained by weight limits... This was a first for the press which has  never had someone order our books by the pound….  :-)



Our librarian and early education staff suggested some children's books to bring, and we brought some Parent Aware bibs toys for the orphanage we will be visiting.
