Our team, after graduation on return from Albania And just like that, two months has sped by for our team.  We have had the amazing privilege of working in two different nations, Poland and Albania ( actually 3 when one member of our team spent the last month of her outreach in Belarus) ,  cultures in contrast, rich in heritage and diverse in people.
