Meet the Gang

I'd like you to meet my new "family" over the next 27 months. We will all be heading to Ukraine together and according to past groups will grow super close and become besties. We all do our training in Kyiv as a large group and then break into groups of 4 throughout the country. We then meet up again periodically throughout the year and I hear it is usually quite the party. They all seem so nice up to this point and I think I am lucky to be serving with these people. As you can see they come from various age groups and backgrounds...
