Opportunity Knocks

Rita is coming to America! She won a slot in the TEA program through IREX that sends teachers to the states for a summer program. We're not sure where she'll be yet, but if any teacher deserves it, it's Rita! Hopefully we can rally a bunch of old volunteers together and make her feel at home. She cooked for us every week in tstan--because she promised Allah that if her daughter made it to America to studey on the FLEX exchange program that she would have the volunteers over for Sunday lunch as long as they were in Balkanabat. Hopefully we can show her some of the same hospitality in the states! Congrats Rita!
