Greetings!
Sarah and Miriam here...
As you may or may not know, we're both heading off on adventures around the world within the next two weeks. We've created this blog so that you can keep track of us a little bit, and check in at your own convenience, rather than being bombarded by mass emails every few weeks.
So here's the dealio:
Sarah is leaving on October 10th to travel to Israel, where she will be until July 1st, aside from the traveling in the Middle East that she plans to do during her breaks. She'll be at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies at Kibbutz Ketura in the Negev Desert in the south of Israel, about 1/2 an hour from Eilat (and the Egyptian border and the Red Sea!). She'll be earning credit towards her studies at Barnard, taking classes about environmental issues, especially those specific to peace and politics in the Middle East. For more about the kibbutz, the program, the people, and the classes...stay tuned!
Miriam will be leaving October 15th to join Sarah on Kibbutz Ketura in Israel (:-D) as a kibbutz volunteer. She will be there for three months - until mid January - doing who-knows-what (again, stay tuned)! After a quick trip back home to regroup, she will be leaving on February 11th for... AFRICA! To answer a few obvious questions, Miriam is traveling to Uganda, Tanzania, and Zanzibar with an organization called Carpe Diem Education. She, approximately 10 other students, and two group leaders will be working on various volunteer projects focused on environmental conservation and community health. She'll fill you in on details as it gets closer, but for now she is getting excited about Israel. Can't wait to tell you more!
For the time being we're livin' it up in Rose Valley, enjoying our last few weeks (days?!?) at home with mom & dad, packing, voting, and finalizing plans. Feel free to give us a call while we're still in the country!
We'd love to hear from all of you, so comment on our posts, email us, skype us, call us, IM us, facebook us, SEND US LETTERS (!!!), ESP us, or yell really really really loud....
*Contact info coming soon*
Shanah tovah and lots of love!
It was the best of times...seriously.

If there was ever a picture of flourishing, it is Sarah and Miriam Schuldenfrei.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13:12)
Get on out there and start blooming!
