A cross-cultural experience
Today I am going to a fund-raising event for Link Romania. This is a Christian charity working for humanitarian aid, poverty alleviation, and sharing the gospel, in Romania and other Eastern European countries. They do a great work, with projects in hospitals, shanty towns, farms, life skills centres, and a yearly "shoebox" distribution. Check them out - and maybe support their work.
Today's fundraiser is a Fashion Show and Cabaret - and I am expected to wear a dj and bow tie! This is way outside my comfort zone - I'm much more comfortable in a mud-brick mosque, or sitting under the acacias with the Fulani, wearing African dress and a turban. But it is for a good cause, and - as a missionary - I guess I'll just have to adapt cross-culturally to the environment...
