AmeriCorps Part 2




The program I applied for in Brooklyn didn't work out. They didn't provide a housing allowance. Sorry, but how is one expected to live on $250 every two weeks in NY? So instead, I found another program down here in D.C. Looks like I'm staying for another year folks!

I started yesterday with this new program. It's called FAN, which stands for Fihankra Akoma Ntoaso, which is a program in SE D.C. that works with foster kids. So my job with the program will be to teach 9th and 10th graders photography. I'm pretty excited about it. Unfortunately, none of the students showed up yesterday, so now I'm trying to work on finding them equipment and other resources. We'll see what happens. I'll keep all ya'll posted.

My roommate Gabby and I are preparing for a move. It's exciting to know we have an apartment lined up that we're both happy with. We're downsizing to a 2 bdrm. Should be good times.

What else... I'm still looking for new jobs left and right. Hoping to hear back about a few. If anyone knows of anything fun and interesting in the D.C. area, let me know! I'm still working on redesigning my Web site. Once that's posted I'll be sure to put it up on the Internets and let all ya'll know about it.

I'm going to keep this one short because I don't have much else to say. So, I bid you all ado. Oh, and start following me on Twitter if you're interested in getting updates about photography stuffs: @Fikhmanfoto.
