Would you like to make a tax deductible donation to my future projects?

Hello Fellow Blog Readers:

To those of you who are interested, I will be setting up an account that will allow you to make tax deductible donations to the projects I will be working on my second year. I will be spending my first year working on education. Then in my second year, I will determine families that are in need of a project in order for them to better their health. Projects could include, an improved cook stove, latrine, cement floor, water storage system, or drainage system. Criteria for recipients of projects will also be based on families dedication to the educational health talks that I will be giving and how great their desire is to better their health. More details to come concerning cost break down as it becomes available.

I am giving you a heads up so that you can start putting money away for this now if you so desire, maybe you have something you can give up and instead of spending the money you can send it towards a good cause. I will be setting up a fund when the time gets closer to begin my projects.

1 Week in country

sorry, I 've been here for a little over a week and I have yet to update this so here it goes. It has been a challenging experience that I have needed to be take a day at a time. It's getting easier to be here.

I am living with a host family now and have been since last Saturday. They are very welcoming and have a lot of patience with me learning spanish as I stumble through my communications with them. We have spanish class everyday in our communities and we also have some techinical training. There is a group of 5 of us that are about the same level. We all live with host families in the same community. We have class until about 4:30 or 6 depending on the day. After that and on the weekends we hang out at the soccer field or go to the basketball courts. There is definately less to do here than in the states. I have gotten some good reading in with more of the free time :) Sorry this is so short but hopefully I can get into more of a routine.
