Field Based Training!

THE Group with our bosses (the more grown up looking ppl)

And this is my whole training group in Healthy Schools. And these pictures are from the fun we had after learning all day about other volunteers, their lives and what we´re getting ourselves into when we swear in and are on our own in 4 weeks. It´s still a mystery where I´ll be sent but I didn´t see any place that I would be miserable at. I did see some pretty amazing transformations of schools that were in the beginning stages before a volunteer was there and then how they looked after they were certified. I didn´t take pictures but when I get to my site you´ll see what I mean. Most places don´t even have water so it´s a challenge to brush teeth and wash hands if there isn´t water, no? So as you can see I have some pretty cool people in my group. We all get along REALLY well and have lots of fun whenever we get together. We danced, we laughed and played games and we got to know eachother A LOT better during last week. I feel really lucky to have such a great group of people to do this with.
This week has been pretty normal with spanish classes and meetings but next week we go out individually to visit volunteers to shadow them for a few days. I´m really excited about that too, it should be fun. I´ll try to take pictures of that too. I´m not doing very well with writing about what I´m doing here but I hope that these random pictures make up for it.
