A brief summary of our status here in Peace Corps Nicaraagua;
- We are healthy
- We are content
- We are very busy
- Warren (Jose) is doing a great job helping his teachers, including not only the primary school ones that are his official assignment, but also secondary school students in Physics and Math, as well as getting a school garden started
- Anita is going through "first year teaching primary kids" challenges (teachers, remember your first year?), has gotten her school garden coordinated again, and they have begun planting, and some stuff is already sprouting, and is down to under 140 pounds (lots of fruit, veggies, chicken without hormones, and walking)!
- Both of us are getting "mob hugs" from the kids - we are like rock stars!
- Have been posting pictures on Facebook (easier than on the blog) but will give you the following link to access those without a FB account (let me know if you are able to see them!)

Anita, it sounds like you are having an experience that you will cherish for the rest of your days. Thank you for keeping us in the loop and sharing a snapshot into your adventures.
The first year is so tough! Hang in there, Anita. You've got it.

Hi,
Sorry to bother you. My name is Ray Blakney and I am an RPCV from Mexico (2006-2008). I am working on a 3rd goal project with the PC regional offices and the main office in DC to try to create an online archive to keep the language training material made all over the world from getting lost. I have created a sub-section on the website my wife and I run Live Lingua with all the information I have been able to get to date (from over the web and sent to me directly by PC staff and PCV's). I currently have close to 100 languages with ebooks, audios, and even some videos.
The next step for this project is that I am trying to get the word out about this resource so that it can not only be used by PCV's or those accepted into the Peace Corps, but also so that when people run across material that is not on the site they can send it to me and I can get it up for everybody to use. I was hoping that you could help getting the word out by putting a link on this on your site so that people know it is there. There should be something there for almost everybody. It is all 100% free to use and share. Here is the specific page to what we call the Live Lingua Project:

Thanks for any help you can provide in making this 3rd goal project a success. And if anybody in your group has some old material they can scan or already have in digital form, and want to add to the archive, please don't hesitate to pass them my email. Thanks and have a great day.
