Nyima Jarju, future BridgeBuilder

Today we have purchased Nyima's plane ticket from The Gambia to the U.S. We are very excited to introduce her to Penyem's supporters here in Boston, and to welcome her to the U.S. Nyima has never left The Gambia (where it is "very warm" right now), so this trip will be a big adventure for her. We are working on gathering warm clothes for her to wear and planning a party to introduce her to Penyem's friends here in Boston. She arrives on Friday, February 23 and will travel with us to Hyannis for the Half Marathon. Sunday she will attend the Bridge Builders Conference at Harvard.
