Training in Philly

09/09/07
Dear Friends and Family,

So I made it to Philly and these few short days of training have been amazing!! I have met so many amazing people with so many different backgrounds! Our group is divided into 2 sectors, those of us who are youth developers, and then people that will be working with small businesses. Most of the people are recent graduates but there are a few older people whom I admire very much, they even sold houses and quit careers to be here! Our days in Philly have been spent going over the nuts and bolts of what to expect and it has been entirely too refreshing to finally speak to people who had the same worries, goals and anticipation as myself.

In other exciting news, we finally found out where we would be for the 1st three months of training and I really really really lucked out! Drum roll please…..FEZ! For those of you that don’t know, that is one of the most modernized, large, beautiful cities in Morocco and I think my chances of having internet for a while will be great! Anyway, so far I have no complaints and the people are amazing…we are all ecstatic and talented. Most of us are anticipating our voyage to Morocco tomorrow, but I am feeling calm and collected. I cannot wait to share my adventures with you all…talk to you soon!

Xoxo, K
