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.

Anticipation

So update about last week: Apparently the devils come out with force on Tuesday so we opted not to leave the house after we got back from our day of camp. We ordered Dominoes pizza and had it delivered. I still can't believe we got pizza delivered, I mean I am in the Peace Corps for pete's sake! So I spent the rest of my week at camp and I was amazed at how tired I got for not doing much physical activity but I guess it was just from having to deal with those kids. They started to get to me by the last day. I don't think I could have done any more than 5 days with them. On Friday we finished up with camp and just had everybody in the morning instead of having the older kids in the afternoon and the younger ones in the morning. Santa Clause made an appearance and dance for the kids. I think they enjoyed it. We went out to Xela (pronounced Shela) which is the nearest big town to hit up the bar to celebrate the end of camp. I headed back to site Saturday to accomplish some things like laundry and grocery shopping. I hit up Chimal which is a bigger city near my site, about a 40 min ride away. There is a bigger grocery store there along with a mall and a food court with Taco Bell, Dominos, McDonalds and a few others. The bus ride there and back was a killer. Both times the buses were super full and on the way back the ayudante had the people standing in the isles crouch down as we passed the police. I was thinking that was pretty much pointless because those buses are always packed to the brim and the cops know it. I also helped my sitemate move to her new place just down the road Saturday evening. Sunday was resting up and hitting up the market for a few things...less than normal as I anticipate my trip home a week from today. The time can't move fast enough! I can't wait to see everyone and catch up :)
