Each program at the International Centre distinguishes itself in some way. For the Two Trinities program, it was rain--every day--and numbers.
Throughout this year the weather has cooperated for our guests. However, participants in the Two Trinities program, had to deal with rain for most of the week--and a train strike as well. But that did not dampen their spirits or their appreciation for the program.
"The participants were deeply reflective," said Sr. Linda Buck, presenter for the program. "They really soaked up all the material in a way that made them shine."
The Two Trinities program was full of numbers, too.
9 participants including:
- 4 Indians
- 2 Brazilians + 1 Brazilian translator
- 1 Bolivian
- 1 Madagascaran
- 1 French translator
- 1 American from Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 km from Madagascar where they speak 18 languages.
