Just wanted to get this blogpage rolling....seeing as I'll be the one rolling (out!) soon. I have 1.5 weeks in Virginia, one week at the beach, and one week of training in Akron, PA -- the countdown has begun! My idea for the blog was to have an easier way for people to hear and see what I'm doing this upcoming year, instead of mass-emails. Hopefully you'll find it convenient and up-to-date! I must say, now that visas and passports are taken care of the whole thing feels much more real -- I'm super excited for the next 11 months!
Just to recap what I know thus far about the year: I'll be living in Cuernavaca, Mexico -- a city with a population of about a million, located 1.5ish hours south of Mexico City (see map). My assignment is at a community center; I hear I'll be working as a "catch-all," which includes helping/teaching an elementary class that meets at the center in the mornings. I'm living with a rather large, extended family -- I believe 8 in all?
Fundraising has gone well the past few weeks, thank you to everyone who contributed! I really apprecite the support I've felt in preparing for this. The next few weeks will be super busy -- filled with packing and goodbyes. Hope the blogpage worked for you...I'll be doing my best to keep you updated!
Peace,
Hannah :)
