Hi everyone!    My name is Sydney and I recently joined NAFASI as Project Manager Intern.  I’m so excited to work alongside Teri and Rachel!  We have a lot of fun things planned for this summer and we'll be keeping you updated with our blog, Facebook , and Instagram !  Don't forget to look out for our newsletter so you can stay up to date on all things NAFASI - sign up here !
