Today was an amazing day! It was our first field trip to check out a current volunteer site. We visited Jake a current CEC volunteer who is doing really great things in his community. School gardens, composting, more efficient ovens, and assisting farmers are just some of the projects he is working on. It felt really good to see how well he integrated into the community and how much progress he has made. It is really reassuring to see the progress and confidence that former volunteers have.
The best part of this so far has been how welcoming the panamanians have been! Part of the reason I chose the PC is that we are invited into the country and into the communities. They have been incredibly appreciative and kind.
Tomorrow we are leaving panama city and heading to our training community and host families. It is super exciting and nerve wracking!
I'm so glad your blogging! That sounds amazing and glad to hear everything is going well. We miss you! Love, Beth
