Been learning more polish, and getting more into a daily rhythm of work, and Warsaw life.  It seems with every new meeting that Poland is really open for innovation and excited about the special things I have to offer from both America and Germany.  What appeals to me most is that I wanted to go into education, and youth training and Mladi has really opened my eyes to my gift and passion for this. Agata and her NGO team have been absolutely brilliant at fitting me into all the process and work.

It was finally nice to check in with the Monika our IO, she had been away in Tawain for a month and is connecting us to some great opportunities there regarding innovation, and also offered us a nice workshop space to hold our future monthly meetings in, so everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
