Congress has officially started! July 15

Sunday July 15

This morning we woke up as the only partnership on the kibbutz and enjoyed a nice quiet breakfast and some programming just with the Baltimore group. Then, other groups started to arrive and we began to get to know the three other partnerships in our “cluster” who we will be staying with for the next four days. We had plenty of mingling, and then we got ready for the opening ceremony and dinner. It was at a wedding venue so there were plenty of nice views and really good food. We met kids from all over the world and began to get a sense of just how large the Diller community is, and the (loud) impact 600 people can have when cheering! We then headed back to our kibbutz to spend more time getting to know our “cluster”.  Today left us more excited than ever to get to know the 600 other Diller Teen Fellows we will be spending the next few days with at Congress!
