I know it has been ages since I last wrote on the blog, and I hope you will forgive me of my absence because I have been so busy working on 4 grants that I want to finish before I leave Kazakhstan in August (boy how time flies, right?). Today I am heading to Almaty for the big "Insights into Development" conference that I have been planning with partners since last fall. When I return next week, I promise more thorough information on my comings and goings :) For now, though, I wanted to let you know that Karaganda received 4 new volunteers from the KAZ 23 group who arrived in March. We met them at the train station with signs and smiles (no doubt embarrassing them like whoa) and we are SO excited to welcome them to our little family. Not only are they fresh off the blocks with all kinds of energy and ideas, but they are talented to boot! I know they will have a great 2 years here, but I'm kind of sad that it's already time for "out with the old, and in with the new!" Till next week...
Greetings dear Hilary! Hope your program went well and all is good with you. You have been in our thoughts and prayers through this exciting time for you with so much going on. We look forward to hearing about how your meetings went and what new is going on with you. Love you bunches!
