WElcome to the Arctic/ Airconditioning?!?! WHAT WHAT????

AHHHHH schoool is out for the summmmer :)

SO basically this means I get to spend more time at the orphanage and working on the Professional Development Inclusion teacher training program!

But to get my summer started off right, I spent last week in yes...dont be jealous now, AIR CONDITIONING!!! WOW! Guyana became a different world to me in that coool air...its almost bearable :)

We had our 3 month reconnect for Peace Corps, which consisted of presenting our Community Diagnostic Surveys(about the communities we live in, because volunteers are spread throughout the country) to the rest of our group...which is called Guy 22. I am part of 28(started with 35) members of the 22nd group of Peace Corps to be in the Guyana program...fancy!!/ LUCKY ME!!!

Life here is amazing---minus falling asleep for twenty minutes in my hammock and getting 17 mosquito bites on my arm the other night..but we aren't gonna talk about that!

Last night I taught at the Institute for Distance and Continuing Education(a part of University of Guyana) on Special Needs for caretakers as well as a basic introduction to Sign Language. It was soo funnnnnnn! I never thought i would like teaching adults as much as kids...but I love it mucho!!Which is good because i'll be doing a lot more of it once the fall comes and the program me and another VSO created actually starts!!

I am going to start writing a newsletter for the orphanage, so hopefully they can get more funding too, i better get too it, it costs be a dollar and hour to be on line, and when you make 7 dollars a day, it doesn't seem to last long!

Miss you all sooo mucho! sorry this is all over the place! im soo happy and soo safe! i wish you all could be here with me!!

Peace, Love and Airconditioning!
