Me and Miss Mona


This is Ms Mona Williams-she's our Social Coordinator at AIS. She takes it upon herself to plan events for all. So far we've been to an Iftar dinner (breaking of the Fast) at the AWARE Center, been boating on the Arabian Gulf, and we're headed for a tour of the Kuwait Towers (the most recognizable photographed item in Kuwait) on Friday. And a night at a nightclub, and a play...and the list goes on and on!

Ms Mona can liven up a room by just walking in. She is originally from Uganda, she's lived in the states and calls New Zealand (yeah she's a kiwi) her home when she's not planning life here for us. She's currently an elementary teacher, although she's taught all grades. In the summer when she's not hanging out with her grandbabies, she's a storyteller around NZ.
It is SO HELPFUL to have someone who can organize your life for you. Ms Mona is one of the angels sent to Kuwait for all of us newbies.

The photo was taken on the boat cruise last Saturday. If you look over my right shoulder, you can see the Kuwait Towers in the distance. I'll also send the one of me piloting the boat.

So fun to see photos of you. Makes it seem like you're not so far away. Keep them coming!
