2 Weeks, 2 Days

I wanted to update everyone with a few pictures. I realized that we hadn't put any pictures up from our swearing in ceremony, so the anticipated wait is over!

We have now been in site for just over two weeks. We have been meeting with community members and organizations that work with youth here in Chota. The first three months in site will be spent getting to know the community better and working on a community diagnostic that will help us formulate our future projects. We have been having a very warm reception from the community members and have been keeping busy. There are also 6 other volunteers in the general area of Chota who we are looking forward to coordinating projects with in the future. We also will be trying to get our World Map project started with a group of youth in the near future, so we will keep you updated on that!

Good to hear that you enjoyed your training and made some lasting friendships. I'm sure you'll hold onto those memories for many years to come. Chota looks beautiful and I know that the youth you serve will be blessed by your sharing with them. You are probably getting into designing your programs and listening to the needs. You are held in prayer as you adjust to your new home and see how you are being called to serve.
What an adventure!
