So the official move has been made from the old office to the new “Salama Center.” Yesterday we had a New Year’s celebration to show the caregivers where we are, talk about plans for the future, hand out some school supplies, and just generally have some fun. Four caregivers volunteered to cook food for everyone, and the menu was awesome—pilau, veggies, pineapple, and many dishes I don’t know the names of… Everyone really liked the new facility and they are all excited for the extra classes it will offer for the kids. The party also provided the opportunity for the new security guard (Amiri) and the new day-care provider (Gloria) to be introduced to everyone.
The next tasks involve outfitting the center, registering the kids for school, and setting up the official program—none of these tasks are very small, and none will be complete by the time I leave next week, but I’m sure I’ll be busy till the very last day. Looking forward to it!
