Great Initiative
Hey Celina, I'm so happy that you had a vent fest with some of the other people in the group. Its soo important. Its funny how Katimavik and Canada World Youth are so similar and yet wen it coes to group living they are completely different. But taking the initiative to talk to everyone is impoartant, obviously everyone is at the "why am i here, what does this all mean, how is this helping"stage, Its funny how both programs force a lot of intrespection...if that is even a word. I love your blog, I cant believe i havent read it since the first entry. Your strong and beautiful and I'm so proud of you for remaining dedicated. Also "The Malian's said they didn't know what Canada was, that they would return to Mali only knowing a secluded farm in the country" ouch.
