Time has passed. Thing have occurred. Let’s hear about them shall we?
Not long after the last blog entry I had the chance to work on a community chicken coop project in a tiny little place called Ojo de Agua. A while back in October I had helped to put together the request for funds [...]

Alright, so only a month and half has passed since my last communique visa vi this blog, so I´m getting better at this. Right?
What happened in January you wonder? My counterpart and I spent a week in the neighboring municipality building a red de mujeres, a group of woman to support the creation of a [...]

Contrary to popular belief I have not died. I´m still alive, and still in Honduras. I´m just bien haragan, that´s all. So, let´s see what has happened since my last post shall we?
Thanksgiving came and was celebrated in true American style. Most of the volunteers in the south of Honduras came down to my place [...]
A Diverse Skill Set to be Sure

So I bought a bike this week. I figured with the protected area being so very large having a bike to traverse it would be helpful. And in some ways it is. Those ways are when I am going downhill. Before I purchased said bike I never really considered how hard it would be to [...]

October was the end of the rainy season here, or as they call it, winter. It rained everyday. That is not an exaggeration, every day. I have the moldy clothes to prove it. But then all of a sudden it just stopped last Monday. Since then it hasn´t rained at all. Instead it has been [...]

It seems I have let yet another month pass without update. I am quite bad at keeping up with this. On the other hand it should make for a more detailed entry.
September 26th was our swearing in date. It was quite a day. I must say I felt proud swearing to defend the constitution and [...]

Wow, over a month has passed since last I updated this. Has it really been that long friends? My apologies.
Much has happened. Field Based Training is done. I was simultaneously very sorry to leave my wonderful family in Monte Redondo and very excited to reunite with all my buds back in Zarabanda. I only returned [...]

I am in my second training site now, and it is a blast. Instead of having spanish classes, I have begun to work in the local school helping to teach environmental education. It has been wonderful so far. All the kids are amazingly sweet and eager to learn. I couldn’t ask for better estudiantes. It [...]
August 2 Update

I am so thoroughly pumped about my next two years of service. Moreso than I have ever been. Earlier this week I had the chance to visit a volunteer in his site and it was amazing. It erased all my anxieties about peace corpse service and has made me extremely eager to get to my [...]
