Volunteering for USAid funded NGO. Social work, living and working with all people throughout the region. Goal: make a difference in people's everyday lives.
Stay tuned here for additional updates. Don't know how much or how little telecomm access to the Internet I'll have during the engagement.

1st Full day in Jerusalem. Last night, complete tour of the newly renovated Jerusalem YMCA. An amazing difference between now and the last time I was here in 2004! Completely renovated areas. Much left to do, but night and day difference! The new General Secretary Andre' has indeed moved mountains!
Today following a little needed rainfall, there is a crispness/freshness in the air around Jerusalem. Sorted out English vmail prompts (changed from Hebrew); confimed working local phone number. Access to friends' Cellcom numbers as well.
Slept for equivalent of 2 nights' sleep. Hopefully now fully jet-lag free. (Yeah, right.)
Quest for the day: a grounded 3-prong electrical adapter.
