The event is starting on Friday morning, July 6, 2012. Our first focus is going to be on youth and parent relationships, and challenges of youth in the Diaspora. We, the fathers, have a lot to learn from our youths as well as the youths have a lot to learn from us. As first generation immigrants, we went through many hurdles to fit in foreign land, new language, and new culture to make ends meet, and raise our children. Our kids struggled to find their identity, and were torn by two cultures; their parents' culture, and their adapted country�s culture. All this will be spiced with Keren style jokes to entertain everyone. Read More ... We are Forging a Venue of Friendship The Keren High reunion preparatory committee has fine tuning a memorable gathering.

People descended fromall over the world.The last two reunions were great and I feel confident this one will be superb. When people with specific bonds show up and appreciate each other�scompany that is theultimate reward. The optimism and good will of all participants will carry the day. See you all there.

By Joanne Richards (Former Keren High School Peace Corps) I joined the Peace Corps in 1966 at the ripe old age of 21, just after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our three-month training program, which took place in Cambridge, MA, introduced us to the language and customs of our host country, Ethiopia (now Eritrea), and reacquainted us with the history and political science of the U.S. As we prepared for life in a very foreign land, we became a close-knit group. I was posted to Keren (the northernmost of all the towns where volunteers served), but my friends were distributed all over Ethiopia.
