Wow, it feels like I've been here for a long time already. I've met so many people already and learned so much. The greatest thing about orientation is that it includes people from all around the world who are in the International Volunteer Exchange Program (IVEP) and YAMEN programs as well as the Serving And Learning Together (SALT) program. I'm already practicing my Spanish with people from Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, and even Haiti. I've met so many of the SALT participants that are going all around the world that it makes me sad I only have one week to spend with them.
As well as meeting lots of people we've had various sessions on how to mentally prepare for our assignments as well as the philosophy and history of Mennonite Central Committee.
