Leadership Camp/Longfield Practice
Hey guys so it has been a couple weeks since my last post. Sorry bout that. it has been a long intense couple of weeks.
last weekend we went down south to one of the very large and incharge dams they have in paraguay that supply the country with a ton of energy. they actually have the largest working dam in the world here.
haha off the top of my head i can´t remember the name of the place but we were pretty much on the border with argetinia.
the camp was lead by a couple other active volunteers and had about 30 paraguayan jovenes. its was a three day camp and the main objective was to teach the kids about the values a leader would have.
we were there pretty much to participate and be spectators.
haha the vacilities we stayed in were the old dorms the workers on the dam had....it was pretty much like a concentration camp but we definitely made the best of it. we threw a party in the dorm room one of the nights and got yelled at for it later but was definitely worth it.
so we we got back i was engripado....had the flu or something like it and sort of finally getting over it. this week has been freezing. its not as cold as the winter at home....but the dificult part is that you never get a break from it. i literally walk into my house expecting to warm up but only to realize that i have to keep my hat and jacket on. i literally sleep in sweat pants and socks and two shirts with three blankets on top and my gorra....snowcap haha but its alright...all part of the experience. i can´t remember the last time i even took my clothes off!!!
what made it even rougher was that today i had to give my charla....hour long presentation on technology in paraguay and computers...was only infront of my own class tho so wasnt too bad. think it went well.
anyways....next week is long field practice.....this means we are splitting up into groups of 6 and going to live with a volunteer for a whole fricken week.
my groups is going to arroyos y cerros which is a town that is in the campo hahah meaning we will be living in shacks in the middle of nowhere. i am excited and nervous. we will be hanging out with the volunteer all week giving charlas and learning about his experience.
to make things crazier....the week i get back.... I FIND OUT MY FUTURE SITIO!!!! future cite
how nutz is that!!! so excited. dam and training is already half way over....insane.....you have no idea
ok well ima gooo
love you guys
hope youre keeping the chi rockin
