Updates and BIG News
I have been back almost four months now. Sharing the adventure complimented my experiences in many ways, and I truly appreciate the spoken and unspoken support I have received through this blog. Onto the news...
There has been a major update in the notebook- 32 new pages are now available, with thumbnails coming soon, and a new first image: a collage illustrating the size of the notebook. The newly added pages start with image x=47. I'm also working on a guestbook for comments over there- let me know if you have any ideas.
And some big news: I am about to begin another adventure! One week ago I accepted a volunteer teaching position with WorldTeach in their Marshall Islands program! WorldTeach was started in 1986 by Harvard students, and places volunteers in developing nations as teachers. The program lasts for one year, with a chance of renewal. After the first month, during which I will be in training and take Marshallese courses, I will move to my island and live without electricity and running water.
Despite difficulties of living so simply, I have a new blog which I plan to update through letters I mail home that are scanned and posted by a close friend. Check out the new blog!
Please consider donating to my Dropcash campaign (via paypal). Many of the schools suffer for lack of supplies, and I am trying to raise as much as I can to aid my school. I have a unique opportunity, as I will be the first in the program's history to teach at my particular school. Please consider donating a few bucks, and if you would rather send books, supplies, or letters, you'll find more information in the Letters Home blog.
Thanks so much!!
