stuff

so got back to site to find out that there may be problems with the funding for my improved cook stoves but i still have no solid word on the project. So i keep doing the trainings with the mothers and they are changing their houses and behaviors and showing up to the meetings so i could not be happier. Then i headed to the mountains of piura to give a training about malnutrition, how to form health promoters, how to run educative sessions, and how to do house visits. It was really great getting to meet the next round of volunteers and to also get the experience of training volunteers. it is so strange to feel like not that long ago we were in their shoes except that a year and a half has already passed by and we have learned so much and changed. it was also entertaining to hang out with one of my best girl friends here because the training was in her site. lets just say that after spending three days with her that we have in general definately lost our minds and will likely be very socially awkward when we get back to the states. Then got back to site and am working on improving people´s bathrooms by building cement platforms still have not decided as to whether I want to do a full latrine project or these platforms are good enough in my opinion. If i do decided to do the latrines I am going to need your guys help with donations totaling in $500 total which is really not all that much and could probably make 30 latrines. Anyways i will let u know if i do or not soon. I joined my dance group last week and will start dancing and performing with them again. I realized after dancing in the 50th anniversary how much i missed and loved dancing. So it is helping my physical health, as for mental health i have been finger painting super relaxing and started doing yoga again. Getting stuff prepared for a girls leadership camp that will be happening next week. all around evrything is pretty calm right now hope all is well with yall.
