Hey Everyone, its been awhile since I updated the ole' blog, sorry about that. I'm going to let the pictures speak louder than my words....In this photo i'm standing with Senora Crespin and Senora Pedro after completing the "Campana de Limpieza" (Cleaning Campaign).

This is the micro-relleno, compost, and bio-huerto (small garden) area that Professor Walter and I constructed with the students of Miraflores.
This is me and my socio-communitario, Roy. We were about half-way through a hike that took us up to Huaquis (the ruins near my town) and down through some terraced farming and this little oasis where some incredibly old trees were growing over the path.
This is the group of B3 (builders beyond borders) teens from the US that came and helped us make some sanitary latrines for families in Ica.
....So i've been staying fairly busy, and since I just finished Early IST (In Service Training) in Chiclayo, i'm full of new ideas that I can take back to my community. But for now I just need to survive May since I have a two, four-day fiestas, the anniversary of Nor-Yauyos Cochas (the reserve that i'm living in), a camping trip with the volunteers of Junin, a tech-exchange with volunteers in Ancash, and of course Mother's Day ; ) Busy, busy, busy, but i'm loving every moment of it!

Other Places Publishing, a start-up publishing house created by RPCVs, is actively recruiting PCVs in their final year of service to remain in-country after COS to research and write travel guides for their country of service. Our guides provide unique local insight, highlight those spots off the beaten path, and show the real country to travelers. If you’re up to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in hearing from R/PCVs in Central and South America. Check out www.otherplacespublishing.com for more info, or email Chris at editor@otherplacespublishing.com.
