The beginning...We have been in the lovely country of Jordan for two weeks now. We have been settling into our flats and getting acquainted with the various projects we will be working on. The city of Amman has offered us many new experiences in the way of people, sights, food: we have watched beautiful sunsets, practised our Arabic in the plethora of yellow taxis, climbed some of the ruins of Jerash, eaten the best falafel we’ve ever had and basked in the warm sun on our rooftop pinching ourselves to remind us that this is not a dream. It is the beginning of the wonderful opportunity we have to live in Amman, Jordan for the next 10 months. It will be a journey…a journey with ups and downs, joys and challenges. We look forward to sharing the journey with you.
We want to thank those who have come before us. You have set the bar high and paved the way. We have been warmly received at our various projects in large part because of the example you set, the relationships you built and the mark that you left at ABS, YMWA and the RHSC. Shukran!
