Soo, as I start my last week of living in Quito with my host family, and taking spanish classes, and not having to think about, well, much of anything, many emotions are starting to flow! I am extremely anxious to move into the Manna House in Conocoto to finally really get settled in and start to make a life here for the next year. But at the same time I am nervous because moving into the house means we actually have to start taking over these programs from last years PDs and start working and making connections within the Ecuador communities! Nerves! For the past week and for the following week, we have been meeting and will meet with each of last years PDs as they give us the run down on everything about the program each have been in charge of and their past successes and failures and where they would like to see the program go. My main interest, the Health programs, seem absolutely amazing. I was nervous to begin with because there is 5 of us that are interest in Health mainly and so I was worried about how much I was going to be able to contribute to the Health Programs. But after the talk it seems awesome that we have 5 people because there is sooo much to do within Health field and so many projects going on at the same time that it will be awesome for each of us to focus on one part and really really advance our respective programs fast and also unitedly open a Prevention and Awareness Clinic in building space that we have above the Manna Library! There is so much potential that is should be amazing. I am completely stoked! The Health people are getting more details later this week so it should be really interesting.
So as for learning spanish, learning the Manna Programs, and a little weekend traveling, my time here so far has been awesome! I can't believe I have already been here for 2 weeks, but at the same time it feels like it has been so long! 2 weeks down, 55 more to go! :)
Hope summer is treating ya'll well!
Peace + amor
Krysta
