The word %22World%22 in the title of %22Lutheran World Federation%22 is what caught my eye on this project. I was curious about how St. Olaf people get involved in an international project and also excited to dig deep into this %22real-world application%22 of international cooperations in a politically unstable situation after WWII.<\/p>\n
The International Cooperation section would focus on a couple of aspects:<\/p>\n
To answer these questions, my colleagues and I have together visited a few archives as well as interviewing a few related persons. As we read more through the historical documents and books written, we hope to create a historical narrative of this missing parts of the history.<\/p>\n

As someone who has been learning German for five years now, one of the first things that interested me in this project actually was its German connection. But what really drew me in and made this project an act of passion was just seeing how people work to help one another and themselves. With my focus on refugee services, I learned a lot about the ins and outs of LWF-SR. This meant looking at budget sheets one day, reading letters the next, and maybe digging into a book later on. In all the everyday, I found complications. I found frustrations. I found small victories. I found people sharing life together. I found peace and I definitely found struggle. Writing this at the end of the CURI program, I can only hope that future researchers develop a new understanding of what it means to provide aid to those in need. It is a hard act and it also must be a humble act.<\/p>\n
Some driving questions of mine:<\/p>\n
Additional Notes:<\/p>\n
I also worked on this project under Professor Amanda Randall the fall semester after CURI. I had the valuable experience of working with initial feedback from some of the amazing contributors to this project as well as creating pieces of the media galleries. From this, I learned the value of access and intentionality. So I must say a big thank you to both Professor Randall and the many people invested in this project! You all have taught me so much!<\/p>\n
