Habari! ¡Hola!
Jina langu ni Abigail Bush.
Nilizaliwa Pasadena, CA, lakini nililelewa kwenye pwani ya mashariki, huko Souderton, PA. Nenda Phillies!
Nilipata njia ya kwenda eneo la Harrisonburg kupitia kwenda chuo kikuu. Mimi ni mhitimu wa Agosti '16 kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Mennonite Mashariki akiwa amepokea Shahada ya Kwanza ya Sanaa katika Sanaa huria na umakini katika Lugha na Fasihi. Katika chuo kizima, nilipata fursa ya kusoma mada mbalimbali, zikiwemo Historia ya Wanawake, Nadharia ya Muziki, Isimu, Fasihi kutoka sehemu mbalimbali za dunia, Nadharia ya Jinsia, Ografia ya Bahari, Uandishi, Picha, na Mawasiliano. Hivi majuzi nilihitimisha mafunzo ya kazi na N. Street Village, programu ya kuwafikia wanawake wasio na makazi katika eneo la DC, sehemu ya Chuo Kikuu cha Mennonite Mashariki. Mpango wa Kituo cha Wasomi wa Jumuiya ya Washington. Siku zote nimekuwa na shauku tofauti, lakini nimekuwa nikivutiwa mara kwa mara na watu na maswala ya kijamii.
I moved to Harrisonburg permanently early this August and planted roots in the Shenandoah Valley. Since my arrival, I have begun working at NewBridges as the Communications and Client Manager! In this role, I maintain the organization's online presence, as well as update the blog and website, contribute to event planning and management, provide photography, as well as work with volunteers.
Wiki zangu chache za kwanza katika NewBridges zimenifanya niwe na shughuli nyingi katika kujifunza jinsi NewBridges inavyowasaidia wateja wao, jinsi wanavyotumia rasilimali wanazoweza kufikia, na jinsi NewBridges inavyoendelea na miunganisho yake mingi ndani ya jamii. Nimefurahishwa sana na mtandao wake wa kina wa kujitolea pamoja na miunganisho yake mingi ya usaidizi na vyombo vingine vya huduma mjini, kama vile Hatua ya Kwanza na Kituo cha Collins. Nimevutiwa sana na kazi ya mashirika yasiyo ya faida na ninaona inavutia jinsi NewBridges inavyoweza kufanya kazi pamoja ili kuhudumia vyema mahitaji ya jumuiya hii inayokua ya wahamiaji.
I bring with me to this role at NewBridges a love of people and building relationships. I bring passion for service and love of the arts. I bring a commitment to hope, even during this time when division and doubt cloud the vision of many. I bring, also, a determination to push towards a goal - in this case, the shared goal of broadening the reach of this organization to the ever-expanding diversity that is coming to Harrisonburg, VA.
Katika muda wangu wote na NewBridges, nitatumia shauku yangu kwa watu ili kuchochea kazi yangu ya mawasiliano. Nitadumisha miunganisho iliyopo ndani ya jamii na pia kujenga mipya kwa heshima na kutegemewa, lakini pia kwa furaha. Nitatumia ubunifu wangu kufikia jumuiya mtandaoni na nje ya wale wanaohitaji huduma na/au wanaotaka kujitolea au kuhusika vinginevyo. Zaidi ya yote, nitatumikia kwa upendo wa kutumikia.
Nimefurahi kuwa sehemu ya timu ya NewBridges! Ninatumika kama Msimamizi wa Mawasiliano na Mteja wa NewBridges na nina furaha kutumbukia katika kazi muhimu ya shirika hili.
