Partnering Agencies and really great people!

One of the really neat things about traveling all over the country is that we often get to hang out with some of our partnering Agencies and some of our favorite people! In Indianapolis, we met up with Jennifer from Cafe 10/40 and got to hear her speak (she did a great job!) at a conference and then head to lunch afterwards. It was great getting to catch up with her and hear more about how we can best mobilize students to their summer project in North Africa. As an added bonus to getting to hang out with her, she also gave everyone on the team iTunes gift certificates, a much appreciated gift as a Traveler! Thank Jennifer- you're the best!


Lunch with Jennifer











When we were in Chicago, we got to visit TEAM's headquarters and meet a lot of the staff there. We got a fun welcome when we came in, the official tour of the office, insiders info about the best pizza joints in Chicago, where we could find members of the mob, and the royal treatment of donuts and Starbucks and a panel of a few staff members to tell us more about current opportunities with the organization. It was a great visit- we wish we could have stayed longer!




























We also got to hang out with one of TTT's favorites, Justin Kron who speaks at IT every year. We finally got to meet his beautiful family, but sadly, somehow we didn't get any pictures of the day. He introduced us to the "Italian Beef", Chicago's version of the Philly Cheese Steak. We all approved- and wanted more.

We love getting to meet up with our partnering Agencies! It allows us to meet the people we are working with and emailing all of the student's info to, and we get to learn more about their hearts and their vision to reach the Nations. We can also learn what opportunities there are for students with different majors and skills, and how to best mobilize to their Agency. And we get to hang out with some of the coolest people around!
