So its harder maintaining a blog than I thought, but I'm not giving up! Here are some highlights and pics to keep y'all in the loop.
- Started Vacaciones Utiles (like summer school) two weeks ago with my sitemate Nick. I LOVE it! We have 80-90 kids in one classroom, but we get to teach them whatever we want. Last week we focused on environment. The little girls are SO cute and they love to hold my hand and be by me. Its a nice change of pace to have a different schedule as well
- Me and Nick started cooking lunch, which has been really nice- more freedom in the schedule to eat when we want and eat really healthy
- Had training in Chiclayo/Lima for community banks/microcredit. Really excited to go back and help improve the banks we have/start new ones in the rural areas. I think they are a great project because they encourage saving, and help people improve their lives by taking out loans to invest in something like a small business or selling fruit in the market. And we brought community partners so they can help promote/facilitate the banks with us and it will be way more sustainable that way
- Looking forward to Carnaval in February- one of the biggest fiestas in Cajamarca!
- Coming home from training with a new perspective and rejuvenated to push forward!
- Loving my church in site, such a blessing. Hoping to get closer with some of the women there.
