Moving On !!!

Hey everyone,

So the other day I posted a blog about the hospital visits. I was not trying to freak anyone out. That actually happened 2 weeks ago, but do to my lack of computer knowledge, I thought that I posted the blog correctly, but I was obviously wrong. So anyone I figured it out yesterday and did the copy and past bit!

So life is great. Last weekened I went to Orocunia, Choluteca, which is in the southern part of Honduras. I went to visit a volunteer that has been there for about 6 months. It was good to be able to see what it is like to be a volunteer (right now I am still and aspirante). On Friday I was able to basically follow her around. She is in Youth Dev. and is currently working with a group that helps educate children with after school programs, on Friday the kids we doing a 2 part lecture with a man from unicef where they were able to learn more about public speaking, interviews, and they had and HIV/AIDS lecture. I had a lot of fun. The kids even did a live broadcast from the local radio station. That night we went into the town of Choluteca and got a few hotel rooms. We met up with other volunteers in the area and aspirantes. It was a lot of fun, I even learned a few new dance moves (at least I tried)... I can´t spell them.. they are some sort of latin dances!!!

The rest of my time the last few weeks has been training, training, training, and did I say more training. Everyday I have spanish, followed my some other form of training such as technical. I am learning so much it is crazy. It is non stop around here. I can´t say anything but good things about my experience thus far. It has been so wonderful. Every day I am exhausted after training but at the same time wouldn´t change a thing. I love all of the other trainees and enjoy getting to know everyone a bit better.

Tomorrow we are all parting ways, well atleast we are dividing by projects. The health group will be traveling to La Paz, La Paz for 5 weeks. This part of training is considered field base training (FBT). This is considered the time when we really get serious about our projects and get more hands on experience. I am looking forward to this opportunity but at the same times have a few reservations. First off, my spanish needs alot more work, the group of 51 will soon be 20 (that how many will be with me), I am going to have to start giving presentations for people in spanish, and I have to leave Santa Lucia which I have grown to really like. In saying all of that, I am excited and know that it is going to be a great time.

I have posted a like on the side to web photos, this is the only way I have figured out to post pictures. I hope you enjoy them all.

Love you and miss you all..
Adios from Honduras
