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 it rained so much it woke me up in the morning. We had to cancel our charla because Paraguayans never go out in the rain. Andrea and I discovered that on Monday we are building our first stove. We also learned that one of the community's schools doesn't have a fogon and everyone wants us to build one. I think we found our CBI(Community based intiative.)

What is AMIGOS all about?
