2 Second 2 Cents

Hey guys,

Here's my second album on facebook with my Peru pictures. Photos!

 

 

 

We have been doing some practicum teachings in schools... getting more and more comfortable with last minute adjustments (welcome to Peru).

 

I have redefined how I view "effectiveness," as it means something totally different here in Peru.

 

Washing clothes by hands is something I really enjoy. The hour and a half "chore" brings me great joy on the weekends.

 

Tomorrow, we find out our final site region: sierra (highlands/cold(er)) or the coast. I'm hoping for the sierra.

 

We have field base training July 14-21st, and that is dependent on if we get coast or sierra. Coasters go to various sites within La Libertad,  and the sierrans (I'm just making up words here) go to Ancash. Secretly, I would like Ancash as a final placement site. Thumbs up!

 

 

July 4th we had a Olympic day at the training center, and then we had delicious hamburgers at the director's house in Lima. A. Maze.Ing.

 

 

 

I've decided to do a cool video project. Each day, I'll take 32seconds of video and after a month, or whatever time period I decide, I'll compile it with music. Sounded cool... here's a friend's sample: 2 seconds per day

 

 

Letters and packages less than one pound can be sent to

Packages greater than one pound can be as well, but it should NEVER be sent priority mail. Better just wrap it in a brown paper bag and write things like "Dios Te Bendiga" (God Bless You) on it. Also, on the customs forms, NEVER say its worth over $100 even if it is. Lastly, list articles within the package as normal boring stuff (notebooks, thread, etc.) This throws off customs officials who might try and steal the goodies.

 

Love!
