AMAZINGLY Tiny world

Today I had the pleasure of visiting a school in Lancaster County, PA, the Solanco High School. I saw many interesting things there, but this story made me shake my head in wonder.

The father of one of the students at the high school is a doctor and he shares his talents by traveling to the far reaches of the planet to help the needy. Recently he traveled to Kenya where he worked in a hut in a small village giving vaccines and providing general care to the natives in the area.

Imagine his surprise when a native woman came into the clinic with her child, and she was wearing a Solanco t-shirt! She, of course, had NO idea where she got it nor that there was any kind of connection with it. I don't think she could speak English, either, although I'm not certain of that. The story of how that t-shirt got to Kenya must be a fascinating story in its own right. But, what are the odds of that happening? You travel around the world into a VERY remote spot, and one of the natives is wearing a t-shirt from your high school.

Still think the world isn't shrinking?

Here's a picture that the good Doctor was willing to share.
