Chillin' at work
Right now I'm at the CARE office... taking a little break. I've pretty much spent the entire day doing data entry for the maternal health project. The interviews I was looking over in the past couple hours were a bit depressing because they were conducted with youth who haven't participated in any support groups for making better reproductive health decisions. A lot of them have serious misconceptions regarding how HIV is spread, have trouble communicating with their partners, and have difficulty naming human rights (especially for women). Tomorrow will be more of the same I'm guessing. Our goal is to finish with maternal health in two or three weeks so... hopefully that actually works out! I want to get started on the forest conservation project so I can finally begin my thesis research and get out in the field! Tonight I´ll be in the Mariscal with a bunch of friends, having fun and laughing! I need a good laugh! O... and next weekend I´m going to Baños to celebrate the fourth of July! O yeah baby! No pictures this post - ¡Perdòn!

Hi Anna. I'm really enjoying your blog. I remember seing the inside of the gold gilded church. I recall it was close to the government square.
Your data entry work for the maternal health project reinforces how important this project is and how urgent the needs are. I hope you can get started on the environmental proect soon.
Keep the updates coming.
Love, Dad
Hola Anna!

Bueno, que te diviertas, y si puedes pasa por CIESPAL, queda cerca del parque La Carolina, es una organizacion que entrena a comunicadores y tiene materiales de comunicacion para la educacion y el desarrollo social. Los temas relacionados con tu tesis con el trabajo de CARE.
