Whole Foods has the most of the couple stores I looked into, of dessert, cocoa, bars, specialty yummy things, and cooking stuff. I'll post a link to the specifics we've got once it's put online!

Wow - food for thought, Megan. Thanks! THis is very important - our shopping choices are indeed ethical ones - whether we are aware of them or not. I have often bought online from Equal Exchange - fair trade coffee, tea, cocoa and chocolate - but sa…

Working with Oasis has brought about a lot of research projects for me. One of my first was to “translate” some documents about fair trade chocolate from British English into American English. Besides smiling at the occasional “whilst” and trying to…

Beautiful thoughts and beautiful stories. Cherish your time with the Roma. Two years from now you'll be sitting in an office wishing you were back there amongst them again. Give my regards to the Stocks and McNarys. Cody (2008 Team TAG)

Growing up you learn so many different words nonchalantly. I now understand that you learn these words at an early age because the experiences in your life later on will define them. These past few weeks have given "flexibility," "challenge," "pati…

Student.Go - a program of CBF Global Missions - provides opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to serve among and advocate for the most neglected people in our world. Our positions include a wide variety of locations and unique types of ministry and are intended to provide students with hands-on missions experience. Students serve for a summer or a semester alongside CBF Global Missions field personnel and ministry partners in locations around the globe. Not only do the students gain invaluable experience in cross-cultural service, they also provide crucial assistance to the ministries with which they work. Through these experiences, Student.Go strives to help students reach beyond their culture, beyond their comfort zones, and beyond themselves to be the presence of Christ in the world.
Student.Go is open to undergraduate and graduate students 18 years of age and older. Applicants must have completed at least one semester of college before their term of service begins. [There is no upper age limit! All ages of undergrad and graduate students are welcome!]

Student.Go reflects the priorities of CBF in its emphasis on holistic ministries, taking seriously God’s mandate of doing justice and mercy and Christ’s instruction to care for the hungry, naked, sick, homeless and imprisoned as we would care for him. We are committed to bearing the presence of Christ and the transforming message of the gospel to the most neglected persons in our world without borders. We also value God’s calling of both women and men to all types of ministry and seek to support both male and female students in their following of God’s will in their lives.

Student.Go provides room, board, local transportation and a stipend ($1,000 for a summer, $1,500 for a semester) as well as a weekend of orientation before you go and a debriefing retreat at the end of the summer.
Some positions may require extra fund raising due to their length, location or the nature of the work.

How Time Flies!

Wow! We only have a little over 2 weeks left of camp. So much has happened between this blog post and my previous one. To begin with, we started off camp with a disappointing number of kids but as the weeks progress we are getting more and more. Aside from discipline challenges, the kids' curiosity and love of life are so refreshing during tough moments of the day. They are so much fun and have caught me off guard at times. One of the activities we played with the kids was passing around a

indigestion: not only reason chocolate should keep us up at night

Working with Oasis has brought about a lot of research projects for me. One of my first was to “translate” some documents about fair trade chocolate from British English into American English. Besides smiling at the occasional “whilst” and trying to remember which words need a “z” instead of an “s,” I learned about slaves in West African chocolate plantations. Pretty uneasy thing to think

Strength, Liberation...and Hatred.

I love public transportation; its like sensory overload in a good way. Even being crammed into a packed subway is exciting to me, despite the sometimes unfriendly smells. You can learn so much about personalities and culture just by watching the people around you.
For the second week of our journey we stayed in Hungary’s capital – Budapest. The city has a fabulous and quite efficient public transportation system – from buses to trams to the metro. Just about everyday this week the TAG tea

Two Different (But the Same) Worlds

This week Caitlin, Nina, and I had the opportunity to work in two different communities with two different groups of kids. In Derecske, we worked with Hungarian kids (not Roma) at a Baptist church that our supervisors, Ralph and Tammy Stocks, attended when they lived in the community. We also worked with a Roma community in Pocsaj that Ralph and Tammy have developed a relationship with thr
