Erin,

So glad to hear that all is going well. I must be an exciting adventure. You’re doing work you should be proud of. Please take a look in the southern sky about 45 deg’s above the horizon. You will see the “tail” of Scorpius making a small “hook.” At that point, you are looking towards the galactic center, deep into the Milky Way. How do the stars look? Could you describe them? They must be magnificent. You should have a great view at your latitude.

Best of luck, and keep us posted,
Mr. Kaschak

Hi Erin!!

Welcome! It is fantastic to see read your post, your enthusiasm about this summer is contagious I’m so excited you are part of the Salud del Sol team!

Along with a raincoat, make sure you have a water proof means of transporting your computer… and I say that from experience… tangents are not waterproof.

You will love the kiddos in Sabana Grande, and they will be so eager to participate in any health related project that you take on. The teacher at the grade school in the community is very willing to work with volunteers, her name is Rosamalia, you should get in touch with her once you get to the community!

Welcome aboard the website, Erin! If you have any questions or curiosities of a technical nature about blogging, send an email to support@saluddelsol.org and I will get back to you promptly. And, from time to time, I will touch up the blog entries to keep them consistent.

By time you get to Nica, I hope to send out information about how to blog via email. That is, you will be able to create a email and send it to a special address and it wll post automagically.

Mr. Young (aka, Anna’s dad)

Yay for blogging! Welcome aboard, Erin!

That’s awesome that you’re keeping your eye out for another little project. While it wasn’t health-related at all, but definitely involved hanging out with kids, I actually taught a ballet class once a week while I was there my first trip. My class ranged in age from 5 to 20, and it was so fun!
