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.

Making time fly

So this week I am out helping a fellow volunteer with her camp for the kids that are off from school until January. Today was the first day and it will run all week. In the mornings we had kindergarten through 3rd grade and in the afternoon 4-6th. We had them rotating through three activities including art, English and sports. It was fun and it's helping the time moved a little faster as I am waiting to come home for Christmas.

Another interesting experience of this week: This week Tuesday they are celebrating Dia del Diablo or something to that nature. It isn't really celebrated very heavily in many areas but where I happen to be this week, it is a popular event. It involves jovenes (teenagers of the male sort) that dress up in a devil outfit and walk through the streets in mobs. They like to bother people and have been known to get in your face and get paint on you. They also circled a two other female volunteers and apparently grabbed their butts. Tomorrow, which is the official day of this celebration I have been told that they will be dressed in only speedos with paint covering their bodies, being even more obnoxious. We are seriously considering not going out tomorrow, but we have a place up on a roof to go sit. The only problem is getting there and back and avoiding these obnoxious people. I shall update you as my experience with this evolves.
