Hola!
My last month in Guatemala is fast-approaching so time is starting vuela (fly).
Right now Pop Wuj is full of students and eager volunteers so things have been a beautiful relajo (mess) of activities. Amy, our wonderful Guarderia Coordinator left today, so I will be taking over as coordinator for the final month. Between repairing the playground, organizing a second photography class, a salsa class, a nutrition workshop series, yoga classes, first-aid class, orienting volunteers, and day-to-day activities, I think I might have my hands full at the Guarderia! But I am excited!
Sean is here now which has been so great! He is here to take Spanish classes and work in Pop Wuj’s clinic, as well as help with a new pilot program to help combat acute malnutrition in infants in the Xela area. This past weekend, Katie came for a whirlwind weekend trip, so the three of us headed to Antigua. We dined fine, strolled along the quaint, historic streets of the city, visited an organic macadamia nut farm owned and operated by a crazy old hippie couple, hiked up to a look -out point of the city, and even found time to do a shift at Casa Jackson, a rehabilitative center for malnourished babies.
Hasta luego!
Carrie
