10. 4-H Connections

4-H has followed me all of the way Moldova.  While traveling for FarmHouse Fraternity I met people that I knew or knew of due to my 4-H involvement.  I thought this would be the case, but I did not expect the 4-H family to reach Moldova.

In September of 2006 I was a facilitator for the National 4-H Conference in Chevy Chase, Maryland.  Paul, one of my co-facilitators (there were 19 of us in total), was from California.  Katie, one of the women in the agribusiness and rural business development Peace Corps program (16 total in my group, 4 women), is also from California and knows Paul through her time in California 4-H.

No matter where I go, even 7 time zones ahead of New York, I can find 4-H connections.
