Happy Catholic Easter! We are celebrating Good Friday here with a traditional Easter Hunt. The kids had so much fun!

So we get to celebrate twice 馃グ.

Sharing about our success about kicking off the new project at URI called "Inner Strength Women Circles". During the last three days we have worked with in total 12 women, from 7 cities in Jordan, representing 6 Cooperation Circles and 5 diversities.

They will become the new trainers for the Inner Strength Circles. Mabruk to all !

When in Amman, make sure you visit the Citadel. It is included in the Jordan Pass. For me, the Citadel provides one of the most beautiful views once can get over Amman. There is also a cafe and souvenir store. Take our your video camera if the Azan starts from a dozen of mosques! Goosebumps.
