| Introduction | As the 2007-08 Ralph I. Goldman Fellow at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee I spent the past year living/working in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Please join me in my effort to raise money for a new hand-dug well in a remote village in Ethiopia. Read my latest post to learn more! |
| Interests | In my Ethiopian life -- boiling water, sitting around in the dark, spending forever trying to get online, drinking coffee, playing with my three dogs and five cats, learning Amharic from my maid, brushing my teeth with bottled water and trying not to get fleas. In Ukraine: working, pilates, reading, hanging my laundry out the window to dry, getting lost, trying not to touch anything |
