form of formal pub-
lic education, it goes without say-
ing that the STC students do not
have formal sports programs. The
Goodells' son Quin, age 15, plans
to teach them various team sports,
including baseball and American-
style football. The students are,
however, accustomed to soccer
(known in the rest of the world
as "football") and play the game
with found objects such as rocks
and plastic bottles. Quin will de-
liver them a dozen brand-new soc-
cer balls and expects to learn a
thing or two about that game from
them.
DAN, FOR HIS part, can't prac-
tice law in Liberia. But he plans to
first visi the students' homes and
see first-hand the living conditions
and from that point teach some
very basic hygiene programs and
first aid information. Liberia has
been without basic forms of mass
communication or sanitation for,
in their case, a full generation,
and with the adult population es-
sentially wiped out it is very likely
that young people have never been
taught the basics about germs and
the ability of cleanliness to halt the
spread of many common illnesses.
The Goodells expect to be back
in Belfair on or about July 12, but
they don't expect that their lives
will ever be quite the same again.
Says Dan, "We've been involved
with the children in our wonderful
community for over 15 years and
we worked hard to instill a sense
of community involvement and
volunteerism in our two children
as they grew up."
And they are very much aware
that their"sense of community," in-
spired by their daughter's dreams,
is about to expand to global pro-
portions.
