January... wow time flies. So for probably the first time since I can remember I don't have a New Years Resolution, I didn't really think about it until now but I guess I do have a few things I'd like to accomplish this year. First and foremost is the Jocotán Library, which is coming along more or less. I just got in contact with a former Peace Corps volunteer who send computers to guatemala for just $60! so now I'm trying to fundraise to put 5 computers in the library which would be a miracle of a difference for the project. I am recieve new books each week, but there are still so many more they could use, like a complete encyclopedia. Luckily if I can get the commputers I have a digital encyclopedia software for free!
(If you would like to help send us a computer you can donate $60 at http://computersforguatemala.com "hint hint")
Other accomplishments for the year will include coming home for Thanksgiving, yes I consider it an accomplishment to eat turkey and deviled eggs at my parents house, and I hope one of these days I'll figure out what to do after all this :P
Oh! And a friend of mine, a volunteer, got caught by guatemala's version of "Candid Camera," it sounds hilarious, and you can read about it on his blog at; http://jnstaples.blogspot.com/
Miss you all sooo much,
Peace, Love,
Robin
