Happy New Year!

The New Year, always time for change, and it will be bringing some big ones. For the refugees time to get kids enrolled in school and parents enrolled in English classes. Hopefully life is starting to settle into something like a normal routine for them, and our visits can be a bit more relaxed as we start building relationships. Then of course a new intake of families will arrive and the whirlwind will start all over.

For myself, while my much appreciated donations will not quite support me quitting my job right now I am negotiating to reduce my hours at work as a first step. This will allow me some time free during the day to assist with medical appointments etc which can be especially daunting to non-English speakers.

In a few months time when my refugee placement is complete, I've got some plans to visit Central America and some projects there. Then I'll relocate back to my permanent home so I can focus on developing Volunteerevolution's full potential. Meanwhile I better get reading about non-profits, business plans and all that fun stuff.
