Monday, March 3, 2008. Did somebody just get faint? For some reason, these are the two videos that have stuck with me from the slew of primary season youtubing. By the way, unless you're a glutton for punishment don't bother with the comments on the Youtube page. They range from idiotic racist stuff to weirdo conspiracy theory suggestions to fawning Obama-love. Sounds like a microcosm of our political system, now that I think of it. Now if you could make some space, I just need to drink a little water.

Neuroplasticity: changes that occur in the brain as the result of experience. Thursday, July 31, 2008. Similar to Greg Mortenson building a bridge to overcome his first obstacle into Korphe (See: " Three Cups of Tea. More info on this blog later), Emmanuel Leina needs to build a bridge. This is the only connection between the main roads and Sirua Aulo Academy. Well, except for the one massive suitcase of books I brought. Checks should be mailed to:. 5100 S. Dawson St., Suite 202. Seattle, WA 98118. Linda...

Neuroplasticity: changes that occur in the brain as the result of experience. Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Discouragement and Schindler's List. I've hit that point in time where I feel discouraged about how much more needs to be done and how little time I have left. I'm also losing patience with the increase of both the temperature and my insect bites. The first makes me feel guilty for leaving and the second makes me feel guilty for wanting to leave. Copied below is the entire message Summer wrote to me.

Neuroplasticity: changes that occur in the brain as the result of experience. Friday, May 21, 2010. Barzakh Falah in Georgeville, Cayo District, Belize. Barzakh Falah was established in June of 2008, to address the pressing needs of abused, abandoned and at-risk children living in Belize. An important component in this is the ongoing development of a sustainable and self-sufficient organic farm and its integration into each child's education and maturation.". From the Village Volunteers. I'm so excited t...

Neuroplasticity: changes that occur in the brain as the result of experience. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Any doubts* I had about coming to Belize quickly dissipated when I met my host family. Barzakh Falah is run by a married couple, Jaime and Nancy, who rank among the top people I admire, respect, and find inspirational. They have 2 children of their own with 1 on the way (i.e., any day now! And are raising 3 adopted children, each who had been deemed "unadoptable" by the authorities around here. But I can...

Neuroplasticity: changes that occur in the brain as the result of experience. Sunday, August 24, 2008. Dago welcoming their visitor: Part 1. Well, as per usual, things started much later than scheduled and it was all very informal. I gave my camera to Edwin to record for me. I told him that the microphone picks up best at 3 feet or so from the speaker and he took it to heart! He walked right up to all the speakers/performers and was almost in-their-face which made them shy away even more hahaha. Some hav...

NeuroplasticTravel: Overdue Update!
http://neuroplastictravel.blogspot.com/2014/08/overdue-update.html
Neuroplasticity: changes that occur in the brain as the result of experience. Monday, August 18, 2014. In lieu of wedding gifts, my husband and I requested donations toward the building of a special education classroom in rural Kenya. We were married on May 25, 2013, and secured enough funds for Sirua Aulo to begin construction of the building the following month. We spent our honeymoon in Kenya in September and saw the building in mid-completion. In the meantime, there still was more to be done! Sirua A...

Village Volunteers: Sara Richardson in Kenya
http://villagevolunteers.blogspot.com/2010/09/sara-richardson-in-kenya.html
Saturday, September 4, 2010. Sara Richardson in Kenya. I traveled to this country to teach Kenyans about clean drinking water and when it was time to go, I had accomplished just that. At times, my efforts seemed futile and at times, I became frustrated. But when I think about Kenyans, I take pride in knowing they are a little healthier, in part because of me. What I learned from living among Kenyans for six weeks will stay with me forever and I believe I am a better person because of this trip.

Village Volunteers: July 2008
http://villagevolunteers.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 25, 2008. Rachel Burchnell, Di. Ann Casteel, and I had a fantastic experience during our assignment with Village Volunteers this summer. For three weeks, the three of us worked in the Basic School in Atorkor during the week and toured on the weekends. This experience was most rewarding due to the superb organization of our In-Country Coordinator in Accra, Gunadiish Nyavie, our Atork. Or Seth Kordorwu, and the school Headmistress, Mr. Beaulah Mensah-Tetteh. It is obvious that the Atorkor De.

Village Volunteers: February 2008
http://villagevolunteers.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 17, 2008. My experience with Village Volunteers began with a call home to the US from Ghana to try and figure out how I could extend my stay in Ghana and do some volunteering of some sort. Through a couple of calls I got hooked up with Village Volunteers and was able to practice some of my nursing skills in the small village of Have in the Volta Region of Ghana. We soon became friends with her son Richard who helped Florence out bring us our meals and made sure we got anything we needed.
