Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation's compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain love for one another. - Erma Brombeck

Finally a Volunteer!

Hey i got a new key board so now i can actually type which is amazing! I did my poem during the ceremony and i am going to copy it here so that those that can read Spanish can read it. Those that can't can have it translated for you or just make up what you think it says. The ceremony was great a bit long up fun. I am trying to get a recording of it and hopefully i can show it to you guys. That is only if i can get permission to post it. I don't want to break any security rules.

To night we get a thanksgiving dinner at one of the staff's houses which i am looking forward to. It will be a fun and alto of yummy food. There will be a talent show as well and I will be reading another poem. LOL. This time i didn't write it but i like the message that it says. I'll write that one down too. I will miss a few of the staff members here it will be hard being at post for the first few months.

I am not looking forward to the loneliness and the hardship of finding friends. I can't wait for the service to start though. It will be hard but i can work thought it. just forcing yourself out of your house everyday and get involved in things. To just go out and thrive. Which is easier said than done.

Poem for tonight:
who among up could deny that we were tested? But how look at us every person is stronger. Now there is something like light. Prosses is being made. We have removed the rot and we are strenghtening the foundations. There is much work to do and we all know what needs to be done. We can only do the work. SO let up get up early and stay late. Brick by brick and block by block let us get that work done. If we can picture it then it can be done. Ludicrous dreams followed by hours, days and years of work and then a reality that surpasses our wildest hopes and expectations.

Ceremony poem:

En mi Cuerpo de Paz

En mi Cuerpo de Paz nos separamos las Américas de Europa, quienes van al Caribe de África. Tenemos Ingles, tenemos Medio Ambiente, Salud, Agricultura y Pequeños Negocios… tenemos una categoría para todos.

Luchamos con el idioma, la cultura y con las reglas. Algunas veces nos sentimos como ¡gringo tantos!

En mi cuerpo de paz hay algunos que piensan ser Fuertes, pero cuando yo miro en sus ojos puedo ver inseguridades.

En mi cuerpo de paz hay algunos quienes van a juramentarse y algunos no. Algunos Cruzan esta línea y algunos no... Tenemos adultos, tenemos jóvenes, a parejas y amigos.

¡Pueden mirarse a lo largo y a lo ancho de Nicaragua!

Nosotros luchamos con nuestros proyectos, con nuestros sitios y con nuestras clases… ¡Queremos algunas horas de tregua!

En mi cuerpo de paz nosotros reímos, lloramos, callamos, y volamos; algunas veces nos preguntamos ¿que están hacienda aquí?

¿Pasamos? ¿Fallamos? Pero, solamente el tiempo va a decidir si podemos hacerlo por dos años.

En mi cuerpo de paz los aspirantes estábamos ansiosos porque llegara este día, sin embargo no sabíamos que el tiempo pasaría tan rápido.

Nosotros vamos a trabajar con doctores, maestros, finqueros y más. Vamos a vivir sueños grandes y pequeños. Vamos a luchar con reajustes, amigos y con un Nuevo horario

¡Vamos a recordar los mejores años de nuestras vidas en Cuerpo de Paz!

¡Gracia Cuerpo de Paz! ¡Gracias Nicaragua!
