We've had a change in our team....Friday, after a wonderful last day in Idoome, we welcomed our new team of Courtney, Rachel, and Shannon, and had a farewell dinner for Georgette. It has been great to have our new girls here, as they not only bring a new set of skills, but a great sense of humor and lightness to our group. We have been introducing them to the local money, the local transportation, and the local food. It has been great!
But, Judy and I do miss Georgette. She has a frankness about her that is refreshing and easy in this culture. I saw her relate to people by telling them in all sorts of ways how their culture and our culture are different, but more often than not, similar. It was always fun to hear her perceptions and opinions on things, as she either saw them in a different manner, or we saw them the same, but she put things in a way I wished that I could've. Those of you who know Georgette, please take the time to look at a few pictures and ask for her best stories. We have had some good belly laughs...and Georgette, if you are out there, please write something for me to post here....maybe the story about the bug man...or buying the needles...or your triumphs during knitting class.
Here is a picture of Georgette fitting a dress with the women of MOHM. This feels like a memorial or something. Ha! Sorry about that!
