June 23, 2010: My New Home and Job Update

I have been with three wonderful families but it is time for me to be an adult again! First is this amazing logo that says in a picture what Mary Open Doors does with respect to domestic violence. The job continues to be awe inspiring. Women who have been victims of violence who have changed their own lives and a leader who is working toward having a sustainable program. I have been here almost six weeks and accomplishments include: infrastructure organization, obtaining new computer equipment at no cost, bringing together several organizations to begin a summer program for the 30 children served by the shelter program, obtaining a sponsor for US grants and beginning the process of applying for and receiving grants similar to what I did with Dos Pueblos. "Enough" was created by our newly hired young high school graduate secretarial assistant Stacy Rodriguez--she is an amazing artist and is creating our webpage--check out Mary Open Doors on facebook which she created. The orange house is my new home--with all the amenities including a spare bedroom for guests!
