The first month of the year has vanished quickly and February is already here. Even though it is the shortest month of the year February dissipates the dreariness and fosters love everywhere. Ah, isn’t that wonderful? So, let us first wish each and every one of you A Very Happy Valentine’s Day. This month, we bring you a potpourri of articles ranging from Valentine’s Day to World Cup Soccer 2010 for you. We spotlight our farewell to Geremie Sawadogo, who is leaving Global Mobility to join PREM. We also continue with our series on Ethnic foods and this time we bring you a taste of Nepalese fare and a short write-up about this amazing country. Get an update on the successful Children’s Holiday Party and also enjoy our photo page in this issue. An in-depth and humorous article on the Bethesda Library is sure to catch your attention and also maybe get you enrolled in the nearest library. Read also our new useful information page which focuses on helpful and practical tips on the house buying process. Do not forget that WBFN fosters an environment of love and trust that enhances bonding as well as team-spirit among all who volunteer here. It is a place to share joys and concerns.
