Well, it's been almost a year since I've wrote on this blog.....yowzah. All I can say is that me NOT using this blog shows that I am out and enjoying life! After my time spent in Kratovo, I was permanently placed in Gevgelija, Macedonia. This small city is about 3km away from the Greek border. I am living with a WONDERFUL homestay family and enjoying my time here. I work for the Apollonia Foundation, and I work on a variety of projects to help special needs individuals, the environment, arts and culture, and much more. Recently, my foundation received an 80,000 euro grant that I helped write! The grant will benefit special needs individuals in southeastern Macedonia.
Attached to this blog I have a great Huffington Post article on the importance of Peace Corps and diplomacy. Please read.
