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

Well this has been a hard week. I had my second site visit from my sector boss that did not go well. She said the majority of negative things. The only thing I was doing right was i had good ideas. This put my spirits down alot even though i was very motivated and excited before the visit. This is not the typical ocurance usually they encourage you and give you good constructive advice  I know that she is stressed and busy right now but so are the volunteers there was no need to take it out of me. 

I guess it did get me thinking about what i could do better since i was obviously doing everything wrong. After feeling sorry for myself I got of my chair and began to plan some some things to do with the kids like a belly dancing class, a vegetarian cooking class and a mural. I want to start these in the next month or so. This will give me more things to do an prove that i can be a good volunteer not just good be great!

Well one good things this week was my first meeting with my leaders for my ecological burgade. Even though one of the people didn't show up it was still a good talk. The one man that showed has alot of good advice and ideas. I think that he will be a great addition to the group. I hope I can work more with him on other projects as well. It will be a big success, I can't wait to get started. i think I will be starting earlier than i originally thought. The only issue that i am running into would be the dry season and the kids not waters the plants. For this reason I might not be starting now. 

I think i will have to move again. This time i am going to look for a casita or a small house connected to  a family  This way i can have my own privacy and maybe my things will be a  bit safer  I love my family now but it is not a good living condition. They keep taking my things and now they have started to pick my locks. I feel back since Peace Corps just put bars on my window for protection and i would be moving but life  goes on. 

There is not much more to share talk to you all next week.
