taking a break

So ive been in my site for about a month and a half now and it is goin pretty well. I still feel a bit like a trainee cuz Im working a lot with goats but know next to nothing. Luckily I just got a sweet book on dairy goats!! Thank you! This is very much needed here at Cuerpo de Paz, they are lacking goat info. Im not sure what is meant by the 2 pairs of white and yellow gardening gloves tho. Fijese que..

So my closest PC volunteer Shaila left, decided it wasnt for her. That makes me sad, but mostly for selfish reasons. We had fun hiking the mountains and the only time I got on the internet was when I visited her.

Work is good, have been doing a lot of chicken vaccination campaigns where we walk around the hills vaccinating chickens for a fair price. I sell a lot of seeds for the family gardens, and when its lunchtime, I work out a trade for some food! I traveled to Huehue (about 3-4 hours) to buy 6 pounds of seeds and ive already had to return to buy another 3 pounds. I will probably have to go back again in january. This has the benefit of being close to Barretts site, so I get to hang out there for the nite. Its really awesome that the people are so enthusiastic about using the seeds in their family gardens. My transportation is paid for, so I can give them really good prices compared to what else is available in the area.

Right now my neighbor is building my rabbit cages and I am lucky to wrok for the awesome organization SavetheChildren, because they are supposedly giving me rabbits and theyre gonna give me the wire for the cage and the tin roof. Once we have enough meat, we're planning on making a huge buffett with only rabbit dishes so the people can come and try it out and get excited about raising their own. I'll be using the New Zealand type which are also good for the fur, so i guess ill have to learn how to tan some hides.

I dont know how to reply to peoples comments or questions, but I think most of them were along the lines of language and stuff. Its goin OK, right now the hurdle is finding out the differences between the meanings of words and how theyre actually used by the people. I have more pictures of my village and the surrounding mountains to put up, but thatll hafta wait for another time. I got my address for my site, but I dont think im supposed to put it up online. Text me and I can text you the address back.

well thats all for now, happy holidays everyone!
