Sources - Fuentes 2011: Yes...Inspired!!!

On Friday, the Sources crew of 6 volunteers, 1 cameraman, and 2 facilitators/drivers (that's me) went to the very rural communtiy of San Rafael, Honduras to check out the water situation there. It was an epic trip. We only travelled a total of 200 km but spent 7 hours bouncing around in a 4x4 truck. Go hug an employee of your Canadian, provinical Ministry of Transportation right now!

On the Importance of Outhouses

Over the past couple of weeks I wake up and repeat the mantra, "I am calm, and at peace." a few times before I dart out of bed and start the day.  It's been a little crazy around here lately with the arrival and then departure of some Honduran volunteers for my "Sources" Canada World Youth  water project, my first experiences with Honduran financial paperwork, and scrambling to apply to the "Glimpse Correspondents' Program" by yesterday's deadline.  All this, and a boss who was travelling in Mexico and was only intermittently available by Blackberry or occasional messages from fellow ASONOG employees.  Skype, Facebook, texting...I use technology here as much or more than I did in Canada.

I am happy to report that this Canada Day is chill  for me, and I'm enjoying a little down time along with all the Canadians who are vacationing today.  If you're out camping in the British Columbia wilderness this long weekend, give Smokey the Bear a hug for me would you?
