Dearest...
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.

I think i should collect your authograph before you will became too famous, too important and too busy person that the access to you will become impossible :)
ReplyDeleteI'm super impressed at the way you've just dived back into work so quickly after finishing your studies! It's very exciting to see the way you're feeding back into the community. I hope there'll be a way to see your TedxErbil talk some way online. We will always be here to listen to your stress, and it's great to hear about your joy as well.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I saw on twitter that you were reading The Secret - I'm pretty sure you're better than that Saz! ;)
Dear Kulka...
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh!!!! No matter what happens this blog will be my little diary that you and Anonymous can read every now and then...... you've both become part of the journey!!
Yeah, but i also mean personal contact :)))
DeleteDear Amicus...
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I guess I feel I have too much energy to sit at home and watch TV. Love what I am doing at the moment till I begin the other "Big Thing" in my life no matter what it is.
Thanks for everything!! and Yes I am reading the secret, almost done actually and I loved it. I am never better than anything, and a book like that is just reminding you how you can live life, and we all need those reminders!
