Back To Getting Caught Up

For those that are interested, I had an amoeba last week. A few doses of the antibiotic, Paramox, and I was good to go.

Alright, so the first full I week I was here was orientation week. This consisted of getting to know everyone else, learning about how the camp would work, and also becoming familiar with Cabarete. We would generally meet from roughly 9-4, and no one day was like any other. We had the always enjoyable ice-breaker activities, a tour of the town, general information sessions, a basic first aid class, tours of a lot of the DREAM facilities, and various other activites which weren't all that interesting at the time so I'm guessing they won't be terribly interesting to read about either. A side note here, I don't really care if I post run-on sentences or have other grammatical errors, I'm not going back to change them. Just deal with it.

Let's try something new and see if I can get some pictures up.

Here's a shot of my room from the entryway. There really wasn't a better angle so this is the best I could do. Maybe I'll add some more in the future. The bathroom is to my immediate left and you can kind of see the rest. Behind my bed is the wall and to each side is a nightstand. A bit spartan, but it gets the job done.

At a lunch one day during orientation. From left to right, Niko (a dominican counselor), Mel, myself, Anthony (also a full year volunteer), and Joe.

OK, I seem to have the picture thing down so let's see how they look and I'll get more up soon.
