Anyone looking to read a good murder mystery...I went to a Luncheon yesterday and our guest speaker was the author Paul French of the book Midnight in Peking. He recreated the murder of Pamela the daughter of a British Consult set in 1937 Peking. After much research he brings the investigation to a close after 74 years. He was a quick witted Brit and I enjoyed his story on how he came to write this book. It is getting good reviews.
Yesterday I went to observe a 4 year old girl who show signs of autism. E was an amazing little girl, she has already been labeled, and I am afraid correctly. I say that because here it is very hard to get the resources one needs. Speech, Occupational, Behavioral, and Emotional therapy just do not exist here. If it does it is very limited. There are no IEP's, if this word is still used anymore. I go back to the classroom on Friday for more time with E and to meet with her parents on a home visit. I am now looking for my own resources, using the public library, Duke University has an office in my compound/building, NYU is in the process of getting a 4 year program here, but for now it is just a Study Abroad, and of course the internet.
I had no idea life would take me in this direction, and here of all places.
