Message from the Editor
“
This is
perfect, don’t
screw this up”
famous words from Bill Walsh to his successor
George Seifert. Or was that Steve Jobs to Tim
Cook. Maybe Bill Clinton to George W. Bush.
No one gave me those words of wisdom but it
was something I told myself. I am honored to be
this year’s Managing Editor of Pauza Magazine.
I have the responsibility of providing a platform
for you to share your stories and pictures about
your experience in Macedonia. Every day is filled
with a story to tell whether it is stumbling over
your Albanian/Macedonian language or watching
Taco Bell ads on the internet during Ramadan,
our daily lives are full of stories and we want
you to share them with us. I am please to be
working with a wonderful staff, Kelly Friedman,
Lakesh Abreu and Nancy Glines and together we
are committed to keeping Pauza one of the best
publications throughout Peace Corps.
Pozdrav,
Nick Motwani
