This blog chronicles my journey as a Fulbright Scholar in Ukraine in 2010. For 10 months, I will live in Artemivsk, Ukraine studying development of sensory processing and emotional maturity of children raised in orphanages. In my 'free time' I will teach English, volunteer, and probably do everything else I am offered...:). Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed on this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the U.S. Fulbright program.
