Learning

I finally made it. I still can't believe I am here in the Dominican Republic! Today I have been going through some training at Esperanza in Santo Domingo, and it has just been an information overload. So much to learn; all of it so incredibly interesting! I hope I remembered half of it. I wish I had more time to write about all of the programs and interesting things that Esperanza does, but I am sharing computer time with others...another time. Anyway, tomorrow we will have some training on translating and updating profiles for Kiva.org. I am really excited to learn about this aspect of my responsibilities. If you haven't heard of Kiva, check it out.

Right now I am staying in a little apartment with the two other interns while we are training in Santo Domingo. Wednesday I will be heading to Hato Mayor, the town in which I will be working. There I will be living with a lady who is actually the manager of Esperanza's branch. Her name is Beirut. That's all I really know so far.

No worries, I'll write more soon.
