Things have actually been pretty busy. Well, I have at least been out of my site quite a bit. I have actually been out of my site as much as I was in last month. OOpps. Last week I was in San Jose working on the Cadena, the volunteer newsletter. I think it turned out pretty well but it was a little FUBAR'd organizationally and I had to take down another volunteer. Luckily she is leaving country within the next month so I won't have to deal with her again. It was a good reminder that incompetance and self-centrism is a human characteristic and not a cultural one.
Last weekend we had our VAC meeting and the volunteers for our region got together and went camping on the beach. It was beautiful!!! We had to hike to the beach and it was pretty secluded except for a few fishermen. I should have some pictures within the month to share.
Now, I am thinking that after five months in my site, it might be time to get some projects rolling. I'll keep you posted!

Kelley, I know you'll get a fabulous project up and running! Am I right that you already have some ideas swirling around in your head and are just about ready to pounce?
It's great that you're working on the newsletter. Can you share it with the rest of us? We'd love to read about the volunteers' experiences and their projects...
Love,
Mom
