Print Article Email to a Friend

Students who spent fall semester on a cross-cultural seminar in South Africa do a skit on “adjusting to African time.” They led the final chapel service of fall semester Dec. 12, 2007, at Eastern Mennonite University, Harrisonburg, Va. The group, led by faculty members Harlan de Brun and Audra Baker, divided their time among Soweto, Lesotho and Cape Town in language study and learning the history and experiencing the culture of the regions.
