Alright, Mefites, what did you do on your summer vacation? "Hit the pool a lot." "Sweated like hell." "Got through a lot of summer reading." ... "
Went overseas and built a playground for children in a land not my own."
Metafilter's own
Baby_Balrog, Nathan Dannison, was awarded a fellowship from the
Fund for Theological Education to build a playground for Bethlehem children in collaboration with
Playgrounds for Palestine, and has been spending his summer doing exactly that, which has included getting EMT training from the
Red Crescent. In his
most recent entry in
a blog definitely worth reading, he passes along
video of him running from
2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile released to break up a march centered around a
local border controversy.
(And, although it has nothing to do with the above, the guy has a good set of pipes.)
