Hello Folks,
I am going to be picked up by a taxi at 9:30 tonight and heading from here to Baku, Azerbaijan. I have the honor of staying in the airport all night until 7 AM when I will be flying to Istanbul, Turkey and then off to Chicago. My final flight will be to Asheville, NC where Maleika will be picking me up. It is all so hard to believe. I've been taking lots of Vitamin C and Airborne so that I will be the super healthy traveler.
Two months ago our school was getting so big that there was grand talk about buying another building with a swimming pool and gym for next year. I was so excited!! However, Shell Oil has backed out of bringing more families here because of the lack of good hospital care. It seems like everything started to snowball after that and so many parents are being transferred. I started with a class of 11 and now I am down to 6 students. The sad thing is that one of our teachers lost both of his students to a move to China, so he is out of a job.
Today, our last day before Christmas break, we had to say goodbye to many students and to Marc. It seemed like the end of the year instead of Christmas!
The good news is that I got offered another contract to teach at QSI for next year. After I put in 2 years I will be able to transfer to any QSI school that has an opening!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope everyone has a great Christmas break and a Happy New Year!!
Love and Peace, Rachel
