Some people have taken the opportunity to share each others' languages. Jennifer and Pauline spend time together twice a week. Pauline teaches Jennifer French and in exchange, learns Mandarin. Jennifer is very impressed with Pauline's ability to understand Chinese, which she started learning while living in Shanghai . Until now, Jennifer couldn't speak a word of French. Less than a month later she can write a small paragraph about herself.It's a big step for both of them and they are very happy about it. Jennifer hopes that after a year of learning French, she will know how to find her way home if she gets lost!! • Jennifer Hsu (Taiwan)
Goal Setting Workshop
For most of the Partners, this year was meant to be “Life on Hold”: putting aside our everyday lives and jobs to live with our significant others in Lausanne . That's the biggest mistake we all were making. The Goal Setting workshop made us think differently and gave us a sense of purpose and direction for 2007. We realized that this is also a special year for us. We then began thinking about our long term and short term goals! The workshop was very helpful and I know for sure that most of us are already working towards our objectives. • Ashima Enjeti (India)
