Teaching OT in faraway places

Since I started back after New Year I’ve been finishing off the reader for the students, I posted the CD yesterday, and making interactive notes on the textbook for the introductory sessions to get students started thinking on narrative lines. However, the closer we get to departing the more the troubled political situation (the long-running war between the Tamil Tigers and the government) is a concern, first there was a bomb quite close to the college, now more recently an official reopening of hostilities. We’d be glad of your prayers for the places we’ll be teaching, both are troubled and in need of lasting and just peace.
