(Information for subscription is given at the end)
Are you an MK, or have you grown up in a culture different than that of
your parents? Then this mailing list is for you!
MKNet is a public mailing list for MKs and people interested in
MKs (an MK is a Missionary Kid, a person who has grown up in a home with
Christian missionary parents).
Any and all MKs are of course welcome and encouraged to subscribe to
this list, we want your input! And anyone who has not faced the rewards
and challenges of growing up in a missionary home but for whatever
reason is interested in the issues with which such people are presented
is also more than welcome to subscribe and participate.
It's the general practice when starting a new mailing list to have some
kind of official "outline", or purpose. This list is more like a huge
room where we can all have one giant MK reunion, only the room is the
world in our case, so that's kind of hard. However, for the sake of
posterity (?), I'll write a few pointers. The points below are supposed
to pretty much encompass anything that could go on on this kind of list,
so let's just sit back (there are couches in the corner, and help
yourself to the drinks), and visit!
The Purpose of the MKNet Mailing List
======================================
1. To provide a forum for discussing issues of concern to MKs;
2. To encourage contacts between MKs;
3. To distribute news tidbits about those "remotest parts of the earth"
that are not covered in any "respectable" newspaper; :-)
4. To discuss whether 'colo(u)r' should be spelled with that darn 'u'
or not;
5. To announce class reunions of international schools, retreats for
MKs, and any other MK get-togethers;
6. To provide a pool (indoor, heated) whereby one MK may be able to
locate "lost" friends or classmates;
7. etc. (there, that should cover all the bases)
