Harris Collective Teaching Project: Day 2

















Over thirty friends participated in Day 2 of the collective teaching project at Annette Delaney's neighborhood on Saturday, December 16th. Counsellor Aghdasi, along with the assistance of a few participants from Saturday's teaching activities, provided the training for the teaching teams. Overall, 182 homes were knocked on, and about half were home (90 homes there was no reply). Out of the 92 homes that were home, 51 had a positive reply, and most of those need to be revisited. Teams returned back on both days to debrief and reflect on the day's teaching.








Harris Collective Teaching Project: Day 1







Fifty-two of the friends from Harris county, Fort Bend/Brazoria County and Galveston county and beyond gathered together at the home of Kathy Wilson and Salim Zafer on Saturday, December 15th for the collective teaching project as part of the intensive program of growth. Teaching teams visited with neighbors to create bonds of friendship and extend invitations to devotions and children's classes. The friends were trained by Counsellor Farzin Aghdasi in the morning and went teaching in the afternoon. Southern Regional Council members Lupita Ahangerzadeh and Carole Miller joined the teams both days.

Counsellor Aghdasi also spoke at the Houston Baha'i Center Saturday evening about teaching and the Five Year Plan.
