Karin is a school teacher in Toronto and a friend of several members of Trafalgar. She has known the Donaldson family for years and even taught Hilary at school. She also sings in Andrew Donaldson’s choir, Hilariter. She is in the middle of a one-year, world-tour sabbatical during the 2007-08 school year.
She has already been on a tour with Consort Caritatis (directed by Howard Dyck of the CBC) through Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. She did a singing pilgrimage with people from the Vancouver School of Theology through France and England, studying hymns and hymn writers. She spent a week on the Isle of Iona in Scotland, where she lived in the abbey and participated in the life of the community. Karin also visited family and friends in Scotland and Germany, which is where she spent the Christmas season before meeting up with Anne, Steve and Kristine.
Knowing about the Uganda Learning Centre, Karin asked about visiting while she was in Africa. Steve thought it would be a great idea to have a teacher work for free for awhile (ha ha, Steve). As God would have it, our plans all coincided perfectly! Karin fits well into our team’s philosophy (even the toilet paper) and we are enjoying her company. Once she meets the people at the learning Centre and we have worked there for a while, she will make further plans and may even stay on for a longer time.
