Book writing course in Kitee

On Monday the 1st June until Friday the 5th I attended a book writing course in Kitee. In this course we wrote a book about our experiences as North -Karelians in Africa and Africans in North –Karelia. The book will be published by North–Karelian – Africa Society based here in Finland.

The course was led by M.A. Eija - Helena Kettunen. We were hosted at a beautiful school of Folk High School in Kitee near the border with Russia where we had the opportunity to meet and mingle with people and children from Eastern Finland. Many wonderful activities were organised for us which included visits to .... the Othodox Church, sauna, watching Finnish baseball and many other wonderful activities!

Boy did we eat!!!
