Andrew returns to the US of A

As you may already know, Andrew has been out in Dubai teaching the YES (Youth Empowerment Seminar). His trip was such a success that YES organizers are jockeying for his teaching time. You can check out a video of him doing his work here, its a really nice video. He should be touching down in Hartford any minute now and I for one am looking forward to hearing all about his adventures in teaching abroad, and especially about the interest that Dubai organizers have in the Deepening Roots curriculum, we knew we would expand past Canada, but to Dubai? Wasn't even on our radar. Funny how life works like that.

Andrew claims to have some photos. So keep in touch with us here and on facebook to see and hear the details about his trip.

Don't forget to tell your friends about Deepeningroots.org

if you made it this far...

If you have found our blog it probably means you have seen our new website. Sure, I may be biased, but I think it is a thing of beauty. I hope you continue to follow us here and/or on facebook and stay updated with the fast moving current events within Deepening Roots.

As a start, I would like you all to know that Andrew Korza, the Director and lifeblood of the program has taken us global by teaching our workshop in conjunction with a YES (Youth Empowerment Seminar) in Dubai. Since he has arrived there his list of accomplishments have been staggering and include, designing and printing tee shirts which are for sale via the website, opening relationships for the YES community by adding an agricultural element, and shooting a course record on a PGA course there (this game was technically tossed due to a minor scorecard infraction). Oh well, the other two (and so much more) makes up for it. Pictures and more stories from the horses mouth to come soon. See you all on facebook www.facebook.com/deepeningroots
