Bienvenida at Kapwa.

Last Friday I visited the office of my NGO for the very first time. My colleagues-to-be had prepared a ‘bienvenida’ to welcome me in their staff. It goes without saying that I was pretty nervous about that. I had prepared a short speech in Cebuano and luckily my tongue didn’t turn into a knot too badly so I managed to stutter my way through the little Cebuano that I master now. Everyone was very kind to me and I’m looking forward to getting started at the office (by the way, I already have as many nicknames as there are people working at Kapwa :). A warm thank you to everyone!
