Just a month until my trip. My summer has been treating me fair. I bought some items for my stay in Honduras, such as a powerful flashlight, in cases of power outage, a mini toolkit, for common repairs, a night light for reading, a Kindle, so that i won't have to drag kilograms of my favorite books through customs, and other various appliances that will come in handy when living in a third world country.
My mother has passed her final state exam (NCLEX) for becoming a registered nurse. I am very proud of her. She came from a completely different country, learned English, became an active American citizen and received American Education at the age 40.She is a strong willed woman, and i am proud to have been raised by her.
Here is a post by David Herrington from Escuela Mayatan about the end of the year at the school (taken from Mayatan Foundation Website)
June 3rd was the final day of the 2010-11 school year, and today, June 10th, was the annual promotion for those kids moving onto the next grade. It is a particularly special day for 6th graders, who will be graduating into secondary school. I also think that 9th graders will be excited for the transition next year into high school, where they can trade in their plaid pants and skirts for khaki, Most of the kids are clearly excited for the vacation to begin. While many of the teachers are also happy to have completed a year, there is a mix of feelings among some of the volunteers. Eight U.S. citizens, including 6 teachers, will be returning to volunteer next year, but some of the volunteers who won't be returning are feeling sad about saying goodbye.
We hope everyone has a terrific vacation, and we wish safe travels to all of those who are going to other countries for vacation or to return home. Thanks for a great year!
