On March 1st I brought homemade Oatmeal cookies,
soda and brownies to my school to celebrate the 45th
anniversary of Peace Corps. I also made a few signs (see
photos) stating "Happy Birthday Peace Corps", a definition of what Peace Corps is (in Macedonian, copied
from our language book) and the reasons why people
volunteer for Peace Corps. In addition, I wore my MAC
10 Sweatshirt that says "Miroven Korpus, MAC 10" on
the front and "Zaedno--Together" on the back.
The teachers were all thrilled for the little birthday party
that we had in the teachers lounge, all the cookies and
brownies got eaten up, all the soda was drank and all the
staff gave best wishes to me and to Peace Corps. They
were especially impressed that I had written the signs in
Macedonian and that I gave a festive party for a happy
event.

I wanted to let you know what I did for my 45th
Anniversary Birthday stuff. I brought chocolate
chip and oatmeal cookies to Bela Kula (the organization where I now work). It is an after-school
prorgam for Roma children. They were very
thankful and wished me Happy Birthday. I also
brought them to my 3 adult English classes. I told
them that it was PC's 45th Birthday where many of
them wished me Happy Birthday. Many of them
had seen the coverage that was shown on A1 so
they already knew about it. All in all, I told about
50 people about it. Attached is a picture from one
of my classes. If you need anything else, let me
know.

At The Roma Right Forum ARKA here in
Kumanovo we had a birthday party for the
Peace Corps. I made a big sign saying
"Happy Birthday Peace Corps - 45 years!"
with the American and Macedonian flags
on it. We had cake and special drinks.
Everyone loved it.
