Kiev was chosen due to its central location for the local regional meeting of the English Language Fellow program. In addition to sharing ideas and success stories, we got to meet our colleagues and associates who arrived from such exotic locales as Tbilisi(Georgia), Chisinau(Moldova), Yerevan(Armenia), and Nakhchivan(Azerbaijan) as well as Kiev. The seminar was organized and led by the RELO (Regional English Language Officer)
Everybody at the State Dept talks in acronyms-since my job description is English Language Fellow, that makes me an ELF, which has a rather peculiar connotation.I guess Rena would be an ELFette
Since all work and no play would have been disappointing, we all got together for a wonderful evening at the apartment of the CLO(Cultural Liaison Officer), a huge and magnificent two level duplex.
The photo shows most of our group, which includes ELFs, SELFs, FSNs,a CLO and a CAO, as well as spouses (I haven't yet learned that acronym but I'm sure there is one).
