April 2019: Around the World 5k and Air Quality

Around the World 5K

                   There is a charity race that is held each spring around the world within the foreign service community. Team Kuwait participated, and we completed our run along the Marina Crescent Walk off of Gulf Road. This year, the charity recipient was Stone Soup PDX. Go check out their mission and website!

Air Quality

                We also happened to make a list of a different type: We hit the top of a list for the worst air quality in the world when the measured AQI hit 450s a couple weeks ago. It happened due to a dust storm that had blown in that morning. The air is not usually that badly polluted/ filled with dust. The next day, we were back in the yellow/orange (moderate levels). By the way, that air quality app is top-notch, and I have it on my phone as well.
