Sorry everyone for such a long absence from the world of blogging...it has certainly not been due to a lack of news, many things have been happening! I suppose I have just been lazy, and trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to say next :)
Today is a beautiful day here in Gracias, the sun is shining and there is a lovely little mountain breeze. It's the kind of day I love to spend laying outside in a hammock reading a book! Work is, predictably, very slow right now as a result of the current political situation down here. So, I do what I can, and I wait.
On a more exciting note, a project that I have been working on for the last year reached a new stage last month. There has been a group of 4 volunteers (including myself) working on putting together a manual focused on women's health, and last month we had our first workshop to share the completed curriculum with other volunteers, and their honduran work partners. The workshop went very well and I think we are all happy with the results of all our hard work. Then, a few weeks ago, I got a call from a honduran woman who came to the workshop and has since started her own women's group, she was calling to see if I would come help here lead some of the sessions in here small community about 1 1/2 hours away from here. It was really exciting to hear that someone has already started to use the manual, and I can't wait to go and meet her group.
That's all for now...
Coming up next time: an update on my visit home! :) Stay tuned...
