Follow Up on Some Good News!

Some of you may remember a former post where I let you in on the exciting news that I was accepted into the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma and the Global Mental Health Trauma and Recovery certificate program. You can read about that here.
The trip didn't end up coming together last Novemeber like I had hoped because while we did receive the grant, we didn't receive the money in time.
I was SO happy when I received this email this week:

Hi Michele,

Yes your acceptance qualifies you for this years program. I will be concacting the applicants from last year who deferred this week with more information of how to hold your spot. I will make note that you are still interested.

So begin crossing your fingers, praying, etc. that this will work out for this fall. I am looking forward to the possibility of this great opportunity. Although we have gotten the grant it is coming through the state refugee coordinator and we haven't seen the actual money yet. However, ideally the money is there and available to use for this program later this year!! I am hoping that in the near future I will be able to a mental health program up and running (I have already started one but it needs some refinement). This program would greatly help my ability to develop the best program possible.
