Maria from the Jaber Cultural Center has invited me to stay with her in Nabatieh for a week to get to know the community where the center is based. This is an excellent opportunity and I am looking forward to seeing the center as well as some other parts of Lebanon! I am leaving on Janurary 30 and will be there until February 5.
We have also scheduled the first planning meeting for the YouthCaN Med conference, which will be on Friday, February 17, 2006. Topics to be discussed include hike dates and locations, potential seminar topics, conference and presentation application forms, and brainstorming ideas for the ongoing activity during the conference.
