Panamerican Proceeding

Lend me an ear and you will hear the rants and raves of this volunteer. "Nothing is stronger than the heart of a volunteer" says Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle (parden the pun), but perhaps no one is crazier either. Why do we care so much? Herein lies a glimpse of my Pan-American experience.

Pictures!

Santa Clara´s finest keeping us safe. Don´t worry mom, they even have a jail in there. The library on the left just received a copy machine and my job was to traslate the instructions to Spanish. It was pretty funny; how do you say ¨P.C. Load Letter What the f%$@¨ in Spanish?
Victoria and I. She had to take the picture after Kevin screwed up ¨the rule of thirds.¨
Ye ol´ Ryu. Stacey, Kelly, and Kevin celebrating after another exciting day in La Chorrera.
A bucket latrine, actually quite nice. Just add a little sawdust when done. When the bucket fills up, empty it outside in the large compost pile. It´s better than the river.
My house. I live here with the family grandmother and great grandmother. It´s sad ´cuz I´ve never stayed up later then they have.

The ¨queen¨ escorted by Gabriel. We tried asking what the voting depends on (i.e. personality, essay, hotdog eating contest) but everyone just said she won because she´s ¨the best.¨
A little girl getting ready to dance at the coranation.
My mother Dora, Sara, and my other sister Daniela (6 yrs).
My 10 year-old sister Nicole.
My 2 year-old sister Sara. (Sorry, I forgot to rotate these, just tilt your head like this.)
My daily training classroom.
Skyline of the city the first night from the bus.
Panama Jack. The two stars represent the two oceans and I´m pretty sure the blocks and colors symbolize something else too.
