LOtE....the CAMPO

hey guys
so this last week we split into groups of five and went to sites to visit a volunteer.

my group got sent to the campo.....which pretty much means youre out in the middle of nowhere...in the fields with the farmers.....

i had an incredible time....haha living conditions were rough but i loved it.
i stayed with a host family there.....dirt floors, only two rooms, latrines in the fields, freezing cold shower out of a pipe
lighiting a fire on the ground in order to cook....i loved it

so our volunteer has been working with a womans group and is helping them start a panaderia....a bread shop. they have the building now and some machines but are still learning how to run a business...they have no idea but its sooo great...

also he gives charlas to kids in the area because they dont go to highschool....teaching them about entrepeneurship and such...

it was a reallly realllly awesome experience....me and one of the other kids gave a presentation to the womans group about what goals they have for their business and how long to reach them....


just thinking like this is new for them...


also we got to chop down cana dulce....sugar canes in the fields with machetes

haha i even tried milking a cow but was doing something wrong and it ran away before any milk came out hahaha

i wanted to kill a chicken but never got the chane

mmmm i loved the camp....the only hard part would be that nobody speaks spanish like at alll

im told that when we get sent to our sites that we can move out to the campo if we find work to do out there which there always is....as long as we stay within the city limits of our site..



we find out WEDNESDAy our sitios and then thursday we actually go visit our sight for a week....

its moving really fast now and im super excited....


miss you alll
love you
