"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Newbies!
As sad as it was to say goodbye---the new volunteers have arrived and moved into the houses last night. I am living with three new volunteers, Samantha, another English teacher from Vermont, Edith from Germany, who works in the after school programs, and Bianca from Germany, who works with the special education students. We (Yvonne and I-for eight hours) cleaned the house in preparation for the newbies and tried to make the place as welcoming as possible. I am excited for the upcoming months to get to know the new volunteers and form friendships and memories with them and share all the ups and downs that is life here at NPH.
