Personal Update
This new school year is kind of kicking my butt. I just seem busy all the time, a good busy, but busy none the less. In November, I had a visit by Cynthia, a volunteer with Darien Book Aid who was visiting Armenia with her husband. They asked to film me for the 75th Anniversary of Darian Book Aid and you can watch that here. For Thanksgiving, your Country Director, Joanne, hosted both cohorts for turkey and all the trimmings. And the end of November brought our first snow-storm of the winter. December is looking just as busy because of end of term and with the holidays fast approaching. And guess who is playing “Santa Claus” this year?
Happy Holidays to everyone, but especially those amazing Peace Corps volunteers far from home. And heres also wishing you all a very Happy New Year!!!
