Time moves so fast and yet so slow here. Some days I feel like I have been in country for years, and yet my calendar says it has only been months. I have done a lot for not officially starting work yet. And really I have done so little compared to what I hope to do. So lets see, I have started planning some community projects with Lori, including a mobile library and benches and table plans for the canal in New Amsterdam. We have already been to the local saw mills to collect scrap wood for the projects. As a side not Lori also made me an awesome desk...
I have also adopted a lovely kitty named Charlie. I am about 90% sure it is a girl but went with a unisex name just in case.
I also have been attending Sign Language classes taught by Lori, I cant say I'm great but Lori has high hopes for me...

I also taught my first workshop called Protect Yourself, I gave it to the members of my foundation and they really enjoyed it and thought it would work well with the Guyanese youth.

Working with the resources you have... |
I also started going to an exercise class, however I may need some time to recover as I got attacked by sand fleas...
I spend many days relaxing in my hammock catching the breeze and relaxing.
Classes will start at the end of this month and I am looking forward to meeting the kids, and teachers! For now though I am concentrating on relaxing and hanging with Charlie...
