SKIP (Supporting Kids in Peru)

Hey folks!!!

I now have an address where I´ll be for the next 9 months... but i forgot my notebook with it at home (and im at an internet cafe right now)... but email me if you want the address... but dont send me anything till i figure out a secure snail mail method.. (for family, i´ll be emailing you my address anyway, so sit tight)

i´ll have wireless and thus able to skype!! and i´m really excited (but not excitado) about the whole place!!!

I met with some of the folks yesterday, including the director... and i think it´ll be great! theyve got a cute, fairly large house... everyone seems really nice.. they´re all ´travelers´ (except for a few) so i´ll be with others who are pretty much in the same boat... theyve been there for a while tho so they know how to speak fairly fluently...

theres alot of program i can choose from to participate in.. from working with children to teens.. with their families.. doing social work.. or teaching english.. and they´re trying new sorts of things like ´summer camp´... and on the 2 weeks off, they often go to iquitos for vacation... so it looks like its just gonna be loads of fun... (tho loads of work too!!!)... ill be working full time monday thru friday.. and half days saturday.. and i have the option of working on a project with the director on sundays...

and it looks like they´ve made a huge difference thus far in El Porvenir.. the district where they work... other than some common sense security issues, it seems its not as dangerous as people seem to think it is... well.. its not the safest place.. but still...

more info later!!
