Tuesday was filled with meetings. In the morning, I was supposed to visit the University in Gjilan and listen to a class on Sociology. Kris must have really talked me up, because when we arrived, they'd decided that I should give a speech on policy. It was actually really fun and interesting. It was to a full room of students and the asked really insightful questions. I was able to gain a lot more knowledge of how they feel and what they see as their big challenges. In the afternoon I was honored to meet with the Ministry of Social Welfare. They are the part of the ministry of health that is in charge of the Centers for Mental Health.
The electricity ran out and it started to get dark, so our meeting ended early, but they will be there at the main meeting on Friday.
Monday was a day of both fun and work. In the morning we met with the directors and social workers from the women's shelter in Gjilan.
Ther afternoon was spent in Letnica, which is the tine little farming town that boasts the church of the Black Madonna, where Mother Teresa was serving when she got her "call" to Calcutta.
