Welcoming the 2008 STINT Team

There’s been a lot happening over this past month as we are saying our goodbyes to the 2007 STINT Team, giving hugs and shedding some tears. But there is also great joy as we’ve welcomed our 2008 STINT Team family (Kara, Lacey, Susanne, and Justin) into Wellington. So we’ve spent a good deal of time and energy helping them get settled into houses, meeting students, building relationships, and familiarizing them with the city of Wellington. It’s so great to see their excitement and anticipation for the year ahead. For fun, we greeted the new team (after their many hours of travel) at the airport dressed as Scooby Doo and the Gang!

they set eyes on the cartoon characters come to life.]
