Getting my blog started...

This is my first post so I can see how it works, etc.  First, I'm letting you know that my dear friend and creative genius, Jo Toscana (in photo!), helped set this up for me.  I got the required PC approval and can now start sharing!

It's been 3 weeks in Albania. Two weeks living with our host families. And 3 weeks of intense language, cultural, and technical training. (technical training is all about local government structure, upcoming elections, the project/program framework for Community and Organizational Development/COD, NGO's working in Albania, etc)
