A Fond Farewell and a Warm Welcome
A Fond Farewell...
Our 2006-2007 interns, Patty & Desirée, completed their internships with Bola Moyo in May after Dustin and Cara returned from three months in Malawi. One could not have asked for better interns than these two. They have been a tremendous help to Bola Moyo this last year. Patty, though first considering the Peace Corps, has just been offered a job in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace. Desirée spent part of the summer working for Bola Moyo in the capacity of Executive Assistant. She will be spending six months teaching at a community center in rural Kenya beginning this October after a move to the UK with her husband in August. She is planning on visiting us in Balaka, Malawi this December to meet the youth and see the projects she has been helping with. We thank both Patty and Desirée profusely, we bid them farewell, and we wish them success in all that they do. We are starting our search for a new intern from one of the local Portland universities. Let us know if you're interested.
...And a Warm Welcome
