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.

Today I left Tajy and training to meet my host family and community. My host sister Anotonia came to pick us up and we rode in the back of a pick up truck. There are lots of chickens outside of my house and my host family is very friendly and nice. I'm living with Mabel(mom,) Nini(dad,)Grandma, Antonia, Fatima and Ema(host brother). They have two dogs Espike and Lassie and I really wanted to pet them but it's against the rules. We had an unofficial Charla or class and played games with all the children in our community.

I'm heading to the airport. Adios!

I finally finished packing and I am all set to leave. I leave for NY at 5 on Sunday

I have almost everything packed but I'm going to unpack and check to make sure I didn't forget anything. I leave in 3 days and I honestly couldn't be more excited.

In total, I collected 144 toothbrushes to bring to San Pedro with me.

Today I read a chapter about building the fogones in my community. I'm really excited to start my project in 10 days.

The Key Club at Montville High School heard about the Toothbrush Drive we are doing and is starting one of there own. I think I might need an extra bag to put all of them in.
