Thian

This week I got to meet Thian, who is a refugee from Burma living in Spokane. She came here with World Relief about a month ago. I signed up to volunteer at World Relief a couple weeks ago and now I got matched up with her just to help with stuff like setting up a bank account and getting a library card and things like that. I'm really excited about it, and I got to meet her for the first time on Thursday. We were going to get together today but something else came up for her so we'll get together next week instead. It will be fun to get to know someone outside of my normal circles at Whitworth and someone with a really different background. I will also probably learn more about Spokane in the process too.
