So since I have last posted, by the way I am sorry that I have nor been posting more things have been picking up. Well the big turning 25 happened in February 27th, I do not feel much different and I now am starting to understand why older people do not care about their birthdays, once you hit 21 their is not much more to be exited about in birthdays other than family dinners and hanging out. This was my second year away from my family and I can say that I missed them very much. My mom did treat me to dinner though at one of my favourite places to eat Doggy Dock. I also got to get a big slice of chocolate cake that I love. So it was not bad.
We also had Peace Corps months and if you saw in my last post I put up the link. It turned out to be fun and very interesting. I was glad that some of are new Peace Corps volunteers who will be coming in got to see us and ask questions.
Work has been going good, the School back to working on sports and that is taking a lot of time away from crafts. It is all threw March and April. I am so happy that I have other places to be helpful because I would be going crazy if I had nothing to do. Their had been some more talk about making the stepping stones for the garden so I am exited maybe when all of sports is over we can get a start on a big project.
Dorothy Hopkins is going grate, I love going their. Last week we worked on toilet paper bunnies. They loved them. I found that they love to paint, I have tried to get them away from that but they love it so much and I don't want to take away their fun time in arts and craft. This is the one class that is not as structured and they have so much free will to see what they cane come up with on their own. Its amazing how happy it makes them when I come. Steph said that they ask for me when I am not their and cant wait for me to come back. That makes me feel so good. I am going to try and get a bulletin board put up so we can display the work that they do and also decorate the board once a month around the holidays and events.
White cane is moving along we are painting like no ones business, I am working with four of them again and they are doing grate. we started coco plants and flowers. I am so happy that they are progressing in their work. I still have to help a lot but its going good and the bottles I think are getting cleaner. I am hopping that the ceramics grant can get going soon so I know what to plan for next.
Things are going grate here I love it here and I think that I have finally integrated into my school and community. Their is much more to come in this adventure I know it.
Eastern Caribbean group number 84 is getting ready to leave so we went on an all day boat ride up the coast and stopped to snorkel along the way and eat lunch. I will be sad to see them go because they are the ones that I got to when I need something but they have to go and pass on all of what they taught me so I can help the new ones coming in. Thank goodness some of the old ones extended so I am lucky. I am blessed to have this life and all of the people in it family and friends far and near. I am discovering more about myself every day and growing into my own skin thanks to the life lessons from family and talking to new and old friends.
