My name is Angela Maloney and I'm a senior at Ledyard High School. This summer I lived in rural Paraguay, volunteering with Amigos de las Americas and PLAN International. I lead community service projects to prevent deforestation, promote fuel efficient stoves, and improve nutrition. I worked closely with local youth to develop leadership and plant seeds for lasting change.

Today I woke up to the sound of the "highway" next to my house and the roosters. I think the cofffee here is delicious even though it's instant. My Project Supervisor came for her weekly visit and there wasn't a lot to say because it is only our second day in community. We continued meeting people today and I found out my neighbors own a crocodile.

What is AMIGOS all about?
