 Dear Members of our Fulbright Community:

 Soon we will be giving thanks for all the blessings we have received during this year.

As you know, Thanksgiving is a wonderful American tradition during which we give thanks and pray to the Almighty for His Benevolence. It was first celebrated in 1621 in Plymouth Massachusetts when the Pilgrims wanted to express their gratitude to God for surviving their treacherous journey across the Atlantic Ocean and for a bountiful harvest which would allow them to survive the winter in their New Land.  That first Thanksgiving they also welcomed the Indians at their table in gratitude for the help they had provided.

 The Fulbright office in Ukraine also has a tradition of bringing together family and friends – old and new—around a Thanksgiving table.

Today our 1 year student Christina Banna volunteered to prepare a Book Choice for American Library. We picked books concerning love and relationships. We hope they'll cheer you up in moody weather )

Discussion Club, held by Daria Batalova & Oksana Berko, was dedicated to Success, ways to achieve it and stories of prominent people, such as Steve Jobs. You are welcome to join discussion every Thursday at American Library Kyiv )
