Coming Up For Air

I´m back! I´m now in my new site and things are good. Things have been pretty busy though, since we were trying to squish everything that we would have done in the first 3 months in a site, into the one month we had before our 3 month in service training. That´s the conference where we present our results about our community. We just had it this past week, and we presented resources and necessities of the community in general, and I also presented results from the health surveys I did in the community and ideas for future projects based on the findings. Everything went well, and now we are gearing up to really started with these projects.

In other news, we´ve finally moved into our own place. After 6 months of living with families, in the U.S. and the DR, we have our very own apt. once again. It´s not fancy, but it´s ours. We´re now in the process of getting stuff to put in it, since Dominican apts don´t come with things like a refrigerator or stove or anything else you might think is automatic. But we´re having a good time figuring things out and trying to find some kind of normalcy in all this.

Gotta go, but you´ll hear from me soon!
