…to my going away party!
when? this sunday, 2/24
what time? 12-3
where? my dad’s house (1957 prosper road in woodstock)
we’ll provide light snacks and refreshments so POR FAVOR – come one, come all… really, the more the merrier!
also, since it’s really getting down to the wire (t minus two weeks!!), i figured i’d share a bit more information about what i’ll be doing for the next few years. this is pretty much all that i’ve been told, and clearly i’ll learn more once i get to the DR, but here are the details to my assignment:
program: community economic development
title: community economic advisor
orientation: march 5th
pre-service training: march 6-may 15
service: may 16, 2013-may 14, 2015
and here’s a vague summation of my volunteer assignment description:
- improve living conditions by empowering communities, families, and individuals to make informed financial decisions
- help develop business administration skills, financial management, and organizational efficiency of community-based NGOs
- support entrepreneurs to strengthen business practices and better manage financial conditions
- develop and assist with income-generating projects
SEE YOU SUNDAY
