Santa Eulalia

Peace Corps training is intense and tiring. Currently we are stationed in Santa Eulalia, a small town outside of Lima about an hour. I appologize for my english- it has gotten a little sloppy over the past couple of weeks. Presently, the trainees are living with host families close by the training center. Life is hard here as most families work hard to make a comfortable living. Lately i have been involved in numerous exciting activities such as-

• building a vegetable garden with a farmer behind my house
• going to an elementary school to teach kids games with life lessons attached
• finding a comunity contact person to spend time with each week to get to know
• developing a community development project
  

In a month or so the trainees will recieve their assignments and move to a new location. We are all excited about this new step. I will be sad to leave Santa Eulalia and will miss my family but can not wait to see the rest of Peru. I enjoy hearing all your responses and hope they keep coming.
