Hey there,
I hope you all are doing well. I've never really been one to blog, but I figure it's the best way to keep you all posted for the next couple months (a bit selfish I suppose).
Until mid-December I'm going to be traveling and studying in Guatemala and Mexico.
Guatemala: May 17-June15 I'm traveling with some other Le Moyne students and taking classes and learning a bit about the country. Hopefully getting a bit better at Spanish... we'll see.
Irapuato, Mexico: June 15ish?-August 17 I'll be interning for ProLiteracy Worldwide at one of their partner organizations in Irapuato called PLAMAC. Fostering small savings clubs, PLAMAC allows women to support community development projects and establish small businesses.

Nogales, Sonora, Mexico: August 17-mid-December or so... I'll be serving and researching migrant education at the Kino Border Initiative, a soup kitchen and shelter that services recently deported migrants on the border of Arizona and Mexico. http://www.kinoborderinitiative.org
Thank you for checking this out. I sincerely hope I can share my opportunity to experience, learn, and serve with you all... even if it is only through a computer screen!
Take care all!

Hey Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI wish you well in your travels man. I hope that you have a great experience and a lot of fun in Guatemala with Julie and the rest of the Gang. It would be great if you get a chance to do some real adventurous activities or something. Let us all know what its like when you get there to that knew land. Well, I and the rest of us look forward to your next post.
Adios Amigo
Andrew - we miss you already! I'll never eat all those carrots. Hope your trip was smooth and restful. Grampa made 3 holes-in-one today just for you. The owls are fine, thank you - not flying, but sooooo close. love you - gramma
ReplyDeleteps - do you have an address for the old-fashioned mail?
Heyo,
ReplyDeleteWell at least now I'll know what you're doing instead of just telling people you're saving the world, but I don't know where. That's sweet that you get to travel more, hopefully I'll be doing a bit of that over my winter break. Anyway, safe travels bud and hopefully I'll be seeing you over winter break some time.
One of four,
Jeff
