παρακαλώ! (Or, How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Appreciate Street Theatre)

All my friends are going to Greece! Well actually, they're gone already, flying out of the country yesterday morning. Boy I'm jealous. I was planning to go this year but then I did Diploma instead. What a silly idea that turned out to be. Kidding, of course.

A whole bunch of people who are a part of this Youth and Community organisation that I study with (that is, Fusion) are going to Greece to do, well, youth and community work. Which in this case is Open-Crowd Festivals, which is Fusion-speak for mass street theatre. Which means that the rest of us are expected to pick up the slack while they're off playing. I wish I was with them.

Below are Heather, Bec and Geri (with some very distracting blokes in the background, thanks guys!) saying goodbye before they jump on a plane. They are three of many who are venturing into a country where they dont know the language, but are required to do a lot more communicating with the locals than a regular tourist would. Some of them have never been out of the country before, so prayer for them would be very appreciated. Peace.
