Anna Kempe travelled four times in her life over the Indian Ocean. That is why I have started thinking how she experienced the colours of the Sea. She writes she is reading and writes letters together with a friend on deck. But she must have lifted her eyes from the text in the book in beteween. I wish I could have been in her shoes, timetravelled a bit with her. And seen the colours of the sea. Aqaurelle painting was not her thing, I guess. But it is a hobby I have. Or would like to start with again.
En blogg om Anna Kempe boken. En berättelse om en kvinna från Finland som ville bli missionär och hennes studier för att nå sitt mål: Att få fara till Indien och jobba som lärare. Resan till Indien förberedde hon med språkstudier i engelska. Anna Kempe was from Finland but learned english and worked as teacher in India, a hundred years ago.

The English Club
The English Club är ett skrivprojekt enligt Anna Kempes pedagogik. Handarbeta och prata på bara. Skriva brev hem till Finland. Det sistnämnda gjorde hon på svenska. Till tidskrifter och till familjen.
Learning languages is easy. Just chat while making handicraft, listen to music, read books.
Anna Kempe worked in India using mostly English and local languages. She wrote her letters to Finland in swedish to small christian magazines and her family.
