9 days until departure…
This is my first official post and will be brief as I am still in Pre-Departure mode. If you’ve made it to this site, chances are good that you’re aware of its purpose. For anyone who is not, here is the 2 sentence summary: I will be volunteering in Urubamba, Peru for 3 months from April 11 – July 4, 2009 on a public health project focusing on reproductive health issues. Through this blog, I will be reflecting on my experiences with frequent entries, pictures, and whatever else I can come up with.
A very rough itinerary for the next 4 months is as follows:
3/20/2009 – Depart Boston for Lima – Hola, Peru!
3/21/2009 – Flight from Lima to Cusco
3/23/2009 – Begin Spanish School with Amauta Spanish School in Cusco, Peru
4/10/2009 – Finish school
4/11/2009 – Travel from Cusco to Urubamba
4/11/2009 – Begin volunteering with Nexos Voluntarios in Urubamba, Peru
7/4/2009 – Finish volunteering
7/4 – 7/30/2009 – Traveling & meeting up with friends
7/30/2009 – Depart Lima for Boston – Adios, Peru!
I’m going to be sending out a fundraising letter in the next few weeks in an effort to rally support for this volunteer project. I’ll be sure to post it to the site. Any and all contributions are welcome! Just click on the “Donate” button at the top of the right-hand column.
