Helloooo!!

Once again something very exciting is going to happen, on Saturday we begin training a new group of youth. Few days before I am filled with excitement, but at the same time I must admit it I become nervous. You just don't know what to expect, how the atmosphere will be and the first half an hour... well well well. No comment. So far, every ending has been of every training I have done has been sad because I form a special connection with most of the participants and we become friends more than anything else.

Tonight, I am on my bed, in Erbil. It feels great to know mum, dad and my brother are also under the same roof. I remember the times when I wrote alone so far from home, I wished for a day to come where I could be back here, and here it is. Feels SUPERB.

Meanwhile, I'm brainstorming some ideas for a special talk I have very soon.The TEDxERBIL is scheduled for 10th November, I am excited for it, first time ever in Kurdistan. Will keep you updated.


Meanwhile wish you a wonderful day/night
Saza - happy!

Good days

Dearest...

In one of the workshops listening to youth speak

I know, when I am all stressed I write to you and when life is sweet sometimes I don't make time for you, even though you need to be part of my success because you make a great part of the journey. Any how, tonight I decided to give you an update of life right now.

For the past three weeks I have been busy planning workshops for youth, so that they can be peer educators. This was a big dream of mine long ago, and it feels amazing to see the project being implemented now.

Basically, I spend a week or so in the office planning the workshop training material and then five FULL days morning till evening training young people. I love it. I really do. It is not as easy as one would imagine, but at the end of the five days, even if there are two success stories then I feel all the hard work has had great results. During the training I get the chance to listen to the youth of my nation, I get to be part of their life in some way. Often the stories they tell touch my emotions...

From the previous training session we have had so many of the youth call and ask to do volunteer work and start holding peer education sessions for youth in high schools and colleges across Erbil. It feels great. It really does.

Meanwhile, life is BUSY BUSY BUSY! I am also starting preparation for the TEDxErbil event that is scheduled on November 10th.

Just wanted to let you know Erbil is great, and life is all well

Saza - Still itching for something big, though this time I NEED that opportunity to come. Otherwise not possible.
