A BIG THANK YOU TO NUI!!!!

At my practicum we had a going away party for our wonderful translator Nui, she has been a translator for us for about 6 months and now she is leaving us to move to Portland. Salt Lake is receiving a lot of Burmese/Karen (pronounced karin) refugees. Nui is the only person we have found in Salt Lake that speaks the Karen language so she has been a real lifesaver. She will be missed greatly.

Me, Nui and Erin

All the FOOD, there was so much food there and it all tasted so good

In this pictures with Nui is her husband, three of us are social work students, an OT, several Karen family members, my supervisor who is also a PhD student and her roommate, also a PhD student and a former SW student.

Two of the cute little kids, they loved having their pictures taken all night.
