Adios

Amigos!

As most of you know, I will be spending 6 weeks of my summer interning with Highland Support Projects - AssociaciĆ³n de Mujeres del Altiplano (AMA). I be staying Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, the second largest city in Guatemala, where I will be translating, researching and who knows what else, hopefully salsa dancing! I am so so excited to be going and am excited to spend my summer speaking Spanish. AMA is a wonderful organization run by several awesome women. The organization works to strengthen the skills of and create opportunities for Guatemalan women; they do this in a variety of ways which you can check out at www.amaguate.org. 
After my time in Guatemala, I will be spending one week in Costa Rica with my beautiful mother who deserves a vacation more than anyone I know! So, between Guatemala and Costa Rica, I'll be abroad for a total of 7 weeks, from June 3 to July 19. Unfortunately, I won't be able to pick up the phone and call my wonderful friends while I'm away, so I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog so I can keep you all up to date. I'm sure I'll talk to most of you on facebook as well haha! 

Anyways I'd love for you guys to read my blog while I'm away, but I also want to hear from you! So please please please message me, email me (ljc3dd@virginia.edu), or comment on here!
