Ecuador Update

I got my acceptance letter from the ISV today! Which means that I get to go on with their program! YEY!

However, I'm applying to a second organization whose program is cheaper and has more flight out dates.

So I'll keep you posted.

Improving lives

$200 buys a laptop for a child in a poorer country, giving them an education, improving their lives, and giving them a chance to help improve the lives of others.

Big step out of my box

I've decided to spend a month in Ecuador next fall. I'll take a semester off school, spend two weeks teaching English, spend another two weeks doing wildlife research and conservation, and then take a week for myself to explore the Galapagos Islands. Nothing's actually official yet and I have paper work and what not that I need to complete first, but this is going to be the trip of a lifetime! I'm so excited, and can't wait to actually go do this.
