Stephanie is looking for volunteers in NYC

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much Sarah and Merilee for your sweet anniversary picture!

Joaquin and I are doing well. Joaquin (along with all you NYC teachers) started teaching today. Classes begin at Teachers College tomorrow for both of us and so does my grad assistant job. Very exciting.

I'm writing this time, because my old employer, The Hunger Project, is looking for volunteers for their yearly fall event. This year there's going to be a village woman from Malawi who recieved a microfinance loan from The Hunger Project and is now part of a woman-run rural bank. I thought that some of you in the area might be interested in seeing her speak, and the only way to do that (other than buying a ticket to the dinner itself) is to be a volunteer at the event on Saturday night. So please see below for the official information in a link to Idealist.org. If you're interested in participating, the post says to email kp@thp.org. If you do volunteer you'll have to attend an orientation, and if some of you are interested let me know, and I'll arrange to go with you. It should be fun, and it is a chance to get dressed up, do minimal work, eat a free dinner, and see a woman from Malawi talk in front of a thousand people at the Hilton.

If you're interested, but don't live in NYC, you're welcome to stay with Joaquin and I for the weekend. :)
