The past few days we’ve been preparing, gathering materials, monedas, writing proposals, making schedules, etc for the big day. Sunday night Consejo Juvenil and I traveled to Bahia to spend the night and wake up at the butt crack and start working for nuestro bello San Isidro. Sunday night was our first meeting and we met with a representative from the oficina de turismo and spoke about the ideas we have for turism and how to better develop our office. [coming soon!!]. Monday morning we went to the Municipal and met with anther PC Volunteer (been here for almost 2 years now—will stay a 3rd year) and her counterpart in the office for the rights and protection of women and children (or something like that) and spoke about Women’s day which is March 8th here and what we’re going to do and other projects. At 10 we went to Guacamayo Tour and learned how to make recycled paper from used paper…another project that is [Coming Soon!!] after that we went to the Patronato which is run by the mayors wife and is like the Municipal but for health. We spoke about some of our projects and requested some materials (wheel chairs, glucometros, etc). We also met received tons of promotional ads from the tourism office (next store) about all the touristy places in Manabi (to put in our office). Long, great, productive, day where we learned tons and accomplished a lot of things we’ve been dying to do. Can wait to see what comes out of it for the future!
