First, I apologize for the lack of posts so far.  This month has been quite busy to say the least.  My first week I was in the capital for my follow-up language training.  Then I had a lovely visit for a week and a half with my family.  And I just returned yesterday, from an Artisan Fair in the East of the Country (an 8 hour trip if the bus hadn't broke down for 2 hours on the side of the highway, and the driver abandoned us).  

So needless to say, I feel like I have been running around the country.  I am about to leave on Friday, to head down to the South for a 4th of July Celebration.   Myself and 14 other volunteers are trecking out to a desserted and protected to beach on the south west tip of the country.  I have heard that there is little nothing there, so we are coming in the day before to get all food and supplies (toilet paper), before we go.  The beach though, is supposedly breath-taking, and I will surely post- pictures afterwards.

Traveling around has been fun, but I am really looking forward to settle- down in my site for awhile after the fourth of July trip.  This week, I finished my last class of the Youth business course that I have been teaching, and tomorrow I will be having a review and party for the class.  Today, I am in the city to buy materials to make a 4th of July themed cake.  I decided I would make the fiesta also fourth of July themed, to provide some cultural interchange for the kids.  Pretty soon, I will be working with this class to help them write their own business plans, for businesses they want to start in the community.  We are still working on opening our library, I plan on doing some digging tomorrow to help level the land before my class.  I am also working on a Marketing Strategy for my artisans, so I am currently researching Fair Trade Associations to evaluate if this would help us gain more access to markets.  So that is it for now, because the internet is about to turn off.  I will write a more interesting post soon!
