SERNANP stepping it up

So the park protection agency called SERNANP which I work with frequently has just stepped up the game; but in a very motivating way. I was worried that as I came back to site after the winter concert tour back homemy second year would mostly be filled with just environmental education in the schools and possibly an occasional meeting with the adults. As important as evironmental ed is to my site, I was really worried that it wouldn't be enough to keep me very busy. Well once again I was proven that Peru will take care of you if you're patient enough to let it when the SERNANP director in our area, Carlos Sanchez, held a very motivating meeting with all of us from Yauyos. We pretty much outlined three major goals that SERNANP would like to see come from a Peace Corps/SERNANP work agreement. We outlined forming small groups, giving workshops, doing technical projects, and basic overall support coming from each organization. It was very exciting to see our Peruvian counterpart organization realizing our potential and ability to help and has taken the ball and ran with it. By the end of this year I'll surely have several, very measurable, successes in my site, mostly dealing with trash managment and technical support, which is what any volunteer could hope for! Whoot!
