Executive Hippie: An odd story to happen this close to the end of service.
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2009/08/odd-story-to-happen-this-close-to-end.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. An odd story to happen this close to the end of service. I helped someone today. It cost me $5. I neither taught a man to fish nor gave him a fish, but rather, I bought him a fishing pole. I suppose the cause was worthy of my $5, but I'm still struck by doing what I did. Farmer from the 40’s, and khakis that look ironed, but stained more times than I can immediately count. I forget about the conversation for the most part. Tue...

Executive Hippie: December 2008
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Monday, December 15, 2008. A study on international relations. 160; . During the presidential primaries (I know everyone is trying to forget them, sorry for bringing them up, but I’m using this story to jump into another one actually worth hearing about) and the debates on foreign policy, I remember hearing too often about sticks and carrots. Sticks, I assume, represented . What is the most stubborn animal you can think of? Even move at all? Now, w...

Executive Hippie: August 2008
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Friday, August 22, 2008. Time to break out of my routine. The majority of my days here are quite productive, but I've found that since I usually have work, I've stopped doing new things. I live here like I would live anywhere else. What a wasted opportunity. Nearly a year later my thirst for adventure finally returned. Alice: You should shower before you come to the office. Drew: I think I am going to take the morning off. You stink, you need to shower.

A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Friday, August 21, 2009. June's recycling fair and a few fun pics. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. An odd story to happen this close to the end of service. I helped someone today. It cost me $5. I neither taught a man to fish nor gave him a fish, but rather, I bought him a fishing pole. I suppose the cause was worthy of my $5, but I'm still struck by doing what I did. I forget about the conversation for the most part. Tuesday night it occurs to me that he ma...

Executive Hippie: October 2008
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Tuesday, October 21, 2008. So, to take a bus to the capital, I have to get off about 50 feet from the spot, walk to the other side, and take another bus. They won´t let them pass until they figure out what to do. Friday, October 3, 2008. 8220;Good morning” Yeah, I’m nervous, but at least I assigned the right gender to morning, should be all downhill from here. I continue on and tell people that we are Peace Corps volunteers in Valle de Angeles and we have a ...

Executive Hippie: February 2009
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Well, all updates as promised. All shall be well, and I don't question I'll be able to make it back to Honduras within my time limit. Sunday, February 15, 2009. I'm not sure anyone reads this who isn't in my imediate contact loop, and judging from the overwhelming response to my previous 4 posts, I'm guessing no one wanted to read 20 pages of babble. I'll keep it short. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Before dinner we all crowded ...

Executive Hippie: September 2009
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Saturday, September 26, 2009. Alice and I flew in last night on the first flight that left Honduras since Monday. Any other airline and we'd still be sitting in a hotel in Teg. Thanks Continental airlines for getting me home. We can be contacted through our parents, or email (drew.gillispie@gmail.com). I plan on wrapping this blog up in some way, so this isn't the last entry you will ever see, but I wanted everyone to know that were home safely. My favorite ...

Executive Hippie: September 2008
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. La Feria Nacional-Independence Day. I woke up to the sounds of drums starting and the sounds of marching, sirens and people. Drew, get up! We’re late, the parades are starting and we promised to be there….we head into town and we show up to a town completely full of people. The streets where the parade will go is completely full on both sides, and the marching has started. The conductor was dancing more than the band members.

Executive Hippie: June 2009
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Monday, June 29, 2009. Just so you know. Monday, June 8, 2009. A picture update since we haven't written in awhile. We didn't go anywhere this year for Easter week, but we did get to enjoy some time in the pool with some Honduran friends. The weather was great all week, and we enjoyed just having time off as the country shut down for 5 days. These were the processions on Palm Sunday and were very festive. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Just so you know.

Executive Hippie: March 2009
http://executivehippie.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
A married couple fighting poverty in Honduras. Saturday, March 21, 2009. Well, I'm back. I got in just before noon and the overly concerned medical staff had a driver waiting. Alice practically broke down the barrier to hug me. It was all very nice. I greatly appreciate all of the support offered during my time in the states, but i am back where I belong for the time. Wednesday, March 11, 2009. Monday, March 2, 2009. Alice update while Drew is away. As you guys know, Drew is in the states recovering from...
