Departure date: February 16, 2010

I'm awaiting my visa and still getting my house ready to rent, but I now have airline tickets and a better idea of my assignments at the Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation (MEF). They want me to teach some social work classes, as well as organize a program for school leavers. (Isn't that a less pejorative name than dropouts?) Sounds as if I will be kept busy. Expect my next entry by the end of the month, once I'm settled.
