More Pictures and SPW info

Looks like I can only post a certain number of pictures per post, so here' s a few more.

Also, here's the Students Partnership Worldwide website: http://www.spwusa.org/
There's a lot of great information on there, whether you just want to have a better idea of what I'm doing or if you're looking to do something like this yourself.

Pictures from a former volunteer

So I've finally set up a blog. I apologize for taking so long, but hey, at least I got it set up before I left. I am getting on a train in Portage, WI at noon on Tuesday which will get me to Chicago at about 4:00 that day, Washington at 1:00 on Wednesday, and finally Newark at 7:00 on Wednesday. I fly out of Newark the next morning (the 30th), then spend three days in London before flying out of there on Sunday evening (November 2nd). We have a layover early the next morning in Qatar, and then finally arrive in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, at 4:00 on Monday, November 3. That is, of course, local time. I don't have a clue what time that is compared to here, but it's a fair assumption that my biological clock will be shot.

In the meantime, I've gotten some pictures from Cody, one of last year's volunteers, so I can show you what things will look like when I get over there. These pictures include some of the village where Cody lived and worked, his house, his host family, and the other volunteers from last year.

All of the Volunteer Peer Educators (VPEs), the more specific term for what I will be.
