Hello Everyone! Phoebes and I are busy busy busy. We are currently in Constanza, Dominican Republic. The weather is phenomenal here and it reminds both of us of Durango, Colorado and many other mountain towns throughout the western US. Its wonderful to walk out the door of our Donas house and see the beautiful Lomas towering over us.
Our days consist of focused training on Youth Development in the D.R., Language, Tons of Food!, and lots of walking. We are working in small groups with other Youth Development volunteers, or aspirantes as we're currently called, in conjunction with local youth groups. We are conducting a rapid fire community assessment, trying to gain perspective of the youth in Constanza and assist them in achieving a productive and useful goal for the five weeks we are here.
Phoebes and I have been very focused on the language acquisition, so much so that we have failed in updating the blog. We'll make more of an effort to update for everyone.
For now, we're safe and sound.
