First Impressions



On our first day of PreService Training we were welcomed with a traditional ceremony.  People in traditional Moldovan dress welcomed us to Moldova with the breaking of bread, a taste of salt, and a sip of wine (apple juice in Peace Corps).  You can see the group of M27 Peace Corps gathered in the auitorium of a high school in Chisinau.  We have our weekly hub meetings there with all of us.  M27 means we are the 27th group of Peace Corps volunteers to come to Moldova.  There are 66 of us from all over the USA or as they say in Moldovan SUA.  Many have come from Seatlle and Ca;lifornia and four of us from Wisconsin.  Tomorrow we mark our first week in Moldova.  You can see the sun rising from my bedroom in Stauceni.  La Revedere.
