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.

A week in field based training

Hello all fellow blog readers,
I returned Saturday from a week of field based training which entailed a group of 6 of us staying and working with a current volunteer. We were able to put into practice the techinical skills we have been learning. It was great to get a taste of life on the other side of training. Days in training can be intense and full of technical training and language classes so it was nice to get out of that. We gave talks to food vendors on proper hygiene, to those working at the health center about how to work best as a team and a nutrition talk to a group of health promoters in a mayan village. It was great practice and interesting to be able to learn a little bit more about the mayan culture. The city where I am currently living isn´t really mayan but mostly ladinos which are a mix of mayans with europeans. It´s all been a great experience and I am looking forward to finding out my site on July first. I will post it when I find out. Sorry this has to be short but I need to do some research for a project.

Much love,
Kelsey
