This past week was our Fall Area Visit. Our Area Coordinator from the JVC office came to our house to evaluate us on the four values- simple living, community, spirituality, and social justice. We each got a chance to have a one-on-one meeting with the area coordinator to discuss how we have lived out the four values and how we can improve our JVC experience. The area coordinator also came to each of our jobs to make sure we were satisfied with our placements, had direct contact with clients, and that we are learning about social issues. It was a very busy week filled with lots of communal and personal reflections on how the year has been going so far. We have a strong community, and did very well on our evaluation. At the end of the week our coordinator offered suggestions on how we can take our experience to the next level.
On a random side note, while our coordinator was visiting we watched “La Misma Luna (Under this Same Moon).” It’s a movie about immigration and I highly recommend it. I was moved by it because it portrayed the experiences many of my clients go through. It gives a moving personal perspective to the immigration issue.
Paz,
