Our Second Opening Day!

Published: August 6, 2019

Sabah il khair, Al-Wāḥa! Today marked the arrival of our second set of two-week villagers! We were all very excited to see some returning villagers as well as some new faces!

Upon their arrival, villagers were led through several stations including a name-choosing station, a bitaaqa (name tag) station, the nurse's station, the bank, the dukkan (store), customs, and a language exam station. What distinguished this opening day from the previous one is that our credit villagers took charge and led the new two-week villagers through the stations.
