Julie Hostetler Graber is going to Kenya in July to share her teaching experience with the staff of the Mathare Menno Kids Academy. The Academy is a nursery to eighth grade school located in Mathare, a poverty-stricken area of Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa. Because Julie was born while her parents, Don and Joyce Hostetler of Bluffton, were serving as volunteers in East Africa, she has developed a lasting interest in the children there. This will be her third visit to Africa as an adult.

Bluffton native Rick Emmert (BHS 1968 graduate) sends The Icon this update on several projects involving him.

Theatre Nohgaku, which I founded in 2000, is having its first Asian tour at the end of June and beginning of July.
