February News

Hey all, sorry this blog is so late in coming. These last few months have been a bit busy. I have been helping to prepare for the arrival of a new group of trainees and now that they have arrived, I have been involved in their training. They seem to be a great group of new soon-to-be volunteers; it'll be exciting to see how the rest of their training goes and to see them swear in this April.

Last night, around 1am, I was lucky enough to get some rain. A very big surprise to me, and then a big surprise to the guard at the house here in San when I proceeded to get up and stand in the rain. We're coming into hot season right now and I definitely wasn't expecting any rain for a while, but perhaps this is the first of the Mango rains. Either way, I am not complaining.

One more big piece of news; my project to build a maternity and women's center was fully funded. A huge thank you to all that helped with this project! It is because of donations and support from you all that this dream is becoming a reality. We have started the meetings to delegate tasks and as I write this, our new bricks are baking in the sun. I'll try to keep you all updated on progress as the project picks up.
