Welcome to the first day of my sabbatical, and my first time as a blogger. I am spending this year working on a few issues, all more or less related to the U N Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

I arrived in Tel Aviv late Sunday afternoon and spend the rest of the day getting some sun, and a nap! Monday morning started with a long walk, and I will soon have breakfast with Tali Kornheiser from Special Olympics Israel. This trip is sponsored by Inclusion International, and with its past president Diane Richler, we will work with AKIM, the Inclusion International member from Israel. Diane gets here this evening, and we begin site visits on Tuesday morning.
This is my first trip to Israel, and I am looking forward to experiencing the people, the culture and the contrasts.
can't wait to hear more & find out when I can come help! Best of luck on all your hard work! -Jen Drganc
