Lemurs of the Day: Wednesday/Thursday



[Thursday] I didn't forget about our Lemur of the Day promise, but we did get preoccupied Wednesday, so you get a two-fer on Thursday. Since I'm a stay-at-home kind of guy today, I'll anoint myself as Celebrity Chooser. And there is no one here to argue with me.

Thursday's excursions




[Thursday] Eternal Threads is a ministry devoted to helping provide meaningful work to women in developing countries by importing their handmade products for sale in the U.S. Their skills are amazing. ET is directed by ACU alum Linda Egle, who has begun to work with women near Antananarivo to produce goods. Lunch at ET included some ethnic dancers entertaining the group, and an opportunity to do some shopping for their wares. Ryan returns at the end of the day with good footage and reports on the activities, including the most Close Encounter of the Lemur Kind yet, where a fearless one climbed his tripod and made himself at home on his Panasonic HD camera.
