So...not really sure what to write about today....let me think....OH!!! So today we took a field trip to visit a volunteer that has been here for one year. His site was relatively close to the city but getting there was kinda hard. Half of the journey is on the Panamerican and the other half is on an unpaved, dirt/"bouldery" road. I thought we were gonna hit a hole and then go head on into a tree.....or maybe a cow.
So we get there and it´s super hot and dusty but not bad. The guy´s house is really nice....although he said that he had to kill some big rats when he first moved in (!!!). A couple of us trainees helped him vaccinate his chickens that he´s raising and it was kinda fun/challenging picking up these 15 wk old chickens and putting drops in their eyes. We only spent a couple of hours at the guy's site and then we headed back to San Vicente, which is where our training center is.
So I guess I should let you guys know what else we've been up to. Well, as trainees we have cultural classes, language classes and some other classes that I cant really recall right now. We´re a group of 36 trainees and we live in 6 different communities. My community members are AWESOME!! I am so happy that we're all together because we have a great time cracking up with each other and sharing our opinions about the things that we've seen so far.
Now since my Spanish level is higher than my community members I dont have to attend the language classes. Instead, I get to go around investigating the neighborhood (which is only about 3 blocks long/ 484 ppl), making appointments for my group to meet with the health promotor, school director, etc. and I also get to interview ppl in the community.....which brings me to the health promoter.
HE'S A BIG ASS FLIRT!!! So, I had to make an appointment with him so that I could ask him for the key to the medical clinic (we've having a meeting with the youths in our community) and if we could go with him during his house calls. The meeting was a success...we will use the medical clinic and we´ll accompany him this Monday to his house visits. The whole time we were talking he was FLIRTING while his wife say a few feet away. My trainee friend Lindsey lives at his house and I told her to be careful because I know his type all too well....donde él va yo ya he ido!!!! More on him later bc this post is getting long.
Love you all,
Mya
p.s. PLEASE TELL MY MAMA TO SEND ME SOME FEBREEZE AND FLAMIN HOTS IF POSSIBLE
