Funds and Big News!!!
Salaam Aleykum!
Peace Be With You!
Thank you to everyone who joined in and contributed for our May 1st event at the studio of Another Land and the Amias Project. Nichole Smaglick, president, did an incredible job presenting on the Barabaig people in east Africa and the collaboration of their work. Seeds of Hope Africa received nearly $600 from individual donors as well as through a portion of Another Land sales that evening. The efforts of Another Land in supporting SoHa is so appreciated!
Now for the Big News!
I am ecstatic to say that I will be joining the staff of Peace Corps Niger on
June 26th for a three month contract as the Municipal and Community Development Technical Trainer! This work consists of training the new volunteers as they enter Niger and ready themselves for their two years service.
I look forward to sharing my 12 year passion of Niger and sustainable development work with these trainees. I remember well those first moments, days, and weeks, at the training site, trying to figure out what I had gotten myself into...
It is exciting to face the challenge of bringing these trainees the best knowledge, spirit, and understanding of living in Niger as a PCV. It is not easy, but definitely, "the toughest job you'll ever love."
After receiving wonderful "village updates" from PCVs working with SoHA in their villages, I also look forward to visiting them again and personally thanking them for their involvement and remarkable progress. Please see the following posts for their updates and photos!
With hope,
Zoulleha
