Hi Friends,
I hope everyone enjoyed their summer. If you are still looking for a
job I found one below that seems quite interesting. The pay of course
is low...but you do get to travel (and you have to speak French). If I
find any other jobs in my endless search I will forward them to
everyone. Please forward this job to anyone who maybe interested.
Best,
Talise
