I'm currently in the beginning of what's known as the "Three-Month Challenge" of my service. It is a time to focus on integrating into the community, improving local language skills, and building a relationship with the host family. However, I have also been keeping quite busy with networking, meetings, and work. So far I have identified some really great opportunities to be of assistance, such as Developing Science Curriculum at the Primary School, Coastal Monitoring, Adult Literacy, GPS/GIS Training, Sustainable Fisheries Management, and working with the Scout Group. I am also a Regional Coordinator for the National Tree Nursery Competition and will write more about that later as well!

Discussing the benefits of working together. My favorite one: UNITY
This was the only literate woman in the group; it brought tears to my eyes when she stood up and presented the results of our group's discussion. There was a rush of pride and sense of empowerment that filled the room.
We're all in this together
Lunch and learn today
These pigs like to hang around for leftovers!
