Cleaning house.

Here´s some extra shots that we´ve been meaning to upload, but haven´t had the time. I believe that they´re all from our two-week cultural/technical weeks that we ¨went through¨ not long ago.







Amanda with a few other volunteers, building a composting latrine.













Brian and Roenel (another PC Volunteer) putting the finishing work on an outdoor grill/stove.













Pound that block into place, Amanda! Placing blocks into cement is not easy, but Amanda had the technique down in no time.



















Familiar dress for the Latino boys out in the countryside. The hat is considered ¨very Panamanian,¨ and can be seen throughout the country on men big and...small.















Amanda with the latrines again! This is the same latrine from the above pictures and as you can see, is progressing nicely.














Unfortunately, the wages of latrine-building are strange insect bites. We haven´t yet identified the origins of these very itchy bites on Amanda´s leg, but suspect chiggers.














More bites...definitely chiggers, whose itchiness is well beyond reason.












Well, that´s all for now. We have two more weeks and we´ll hopefully be back in site. Please pray for our resolve and the next two weeks out here!

Yikes, just seeing pictures of those bites makes me cringe. You guys are definitely making memories, I’m sure some are more pleasant than others. I love reading your blogs and seeing pictures of your experiences, it makes me feel like I have not lost touch with you. You are in my thoughts all the time, love Kristina.
Amanda, if you can please send your email address to me at kvillarreal79@yahoo.com
