To answer a few questions...
About Teddy:
No, Teddy will not be joining me this summer. He was reassigned to work with a vibrant Human Rights Advocacy group in Mindadnao in the Philippines. From what I hear things down there are pretty exciting with all the outreach and events they are doing.
The weather here:
So far it is cold and raining, which I love! Everyone tells me it will get hot though, but since we are up in the mountains then I have no idea what to believe...I will wait to see.
Weekend Schedule:
We have regular food life work on all Saturday mornings. Also, the second and fifth weekends of each month are working weekends but there are none for June since they didn't observe the holiday in May.
Sleeping arrangements:
We all sleep with 2 people in each room (I will post a picture soon) with 2 community bathrooms in our staff/volunteer hallway. The bed frame, desk, and shelves are made of Cedar and it smells wonderful!
My roommate's name is Sakura, she is also a volunteer and comes from Japan.
I love the comments, and emails are welcome as well!

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're doing such great things!! We're so proud of you and love reading the updates!
We have a major concern though: your nails. That's a lot of gardening and dirt. We googled a tip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyGL5HCQOsU.
LOVE YOU!!!

Hi Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI'm back from summer camp after living in a tent for a week. A real bed is a wonderful thing. Our garden is starting to produce some things now. It's funny to think about you pulling weeds to. Keep letting us know how it's going. We hope to talk to you tonight. Love Dad.
Sarah, I look forward to your blogs everyday. It sounds like you are having a wonderful experience and I'm sure those around you are enjoying you as well! Thank you!
