Getting started (again)...

Hola!

Welcome to my new blog. Since I won't be taking my computer with me this time, I needed a blog site that I could access from internet cafes. This time around, my blogging will be words, not photos, unless I can figure out how to upload photos at internet cafes. Also, this website allows YOU to post comments, so feel free to weigh in.

In a few days, my adventure continues. To summarize, this time around I will do volunteer work and travel in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, and Argentina, then I will explore Australia and New Zealand for a total of two months. My estimated return date is June.

On December 7, I fly to Costa Rica where I will work as a volunteer for three weeks in Heredia (as city outside San Jose) at the Barrio Jesús Soup Kitchen. Here's what I might be doing:

• Help by doing office tasks.
• Help to clean the place.
• Help in the kitchen.
• Draw pictures, play games and perform several activities for kids. Like singing, exercising, etc. Draw pictures, play games and perform several activities for kids (singing, exercising, etc.).
• Talk to the children about my country and culture. Please prepare charts, pictures, etc.
• Help the teachers to take care of the little children.
• Teach basic English to the students after their normal school’s schedule.
• Help to serve lunch.

While in Costa Rica I will live with a family. And I'll continue studying Spanish.

Okay, this post isn't so interesting. I just wanted to get it set up.

cheers,
Stacey
