NUMBER 1....
Right now I am at the Professional Development Camp for youth that was made possible by donations from friends and family at home.
I want to sincerely thank you all for donating and supporting my projects here in El Salvador. I am amazed by the successful experience our community kids are having at this camp, as I watch them on day 2. The change in their demeanor, the confidence they have already gained, the laughter, the new friendships, the bright eyes, is very rewarding.
Many of these kids have traveled across the country and are spending 2 nights with a new group of kids from around El Salvador. My fellow 8 PCVs and friends and I have designed this camp to provide Professional Development skills to deserving youth. After months of planning and fundraising, it has been exciting and highly rewarding to see the camp at work and the kids progress.
I want to Thank Everyone who donated for making this amazing opportunity possible. Soon you shall see photos posted on Facebook!
NUMBER 2....
For the past few months, my Community Development Team in La Montana and I have been designing the plans and work committees to build a foot-bridge over a creek in my community. Hundreds of men, women, and children cross this creek to get to school, to the coffee fields, or to the town center. During this time of year, the creek floods making the passage near-impossible.
I have been approved my Peace Corps to make this project possible through writing a Peace Corps Partnership Grant which is posted on the official PeaceCorps.gov project website, under my last name.
If you would be able to spare some fancy dinner money or some happy hour specials to this cause, it would be immensely appreciated.
I have agreed to extend my service to see this project through if needed and while I love La Montana and its members, I deeply miss my family and friends at home and hope that I will be back to see them as planned in March!
So every DAY counts. If you can afford to donate, please DO IT, and most politely, DO IT NOW!!!!!
Thank you so much in advance.
Thank you to those who have already donated. Thank you to those who read. Thank you to those who care and support and love and are spreading the love!
