Hello friends!
I am writing you from a mall in Comayagua, one of the larger cities in Honduras and also its former capital. It´s been a good week and I´m excited for today because it is the first day of my Volunteer visit. Another trainee, Brian, and I will be visiting a current business volunteer at his site for a few days to get an idea of what he does. I´m really happy for the change of pace and a chance to see some other parts of Honduras.
This week was another long, eventful one. More Spanish and technical training. We´ve also been visited by a number of current Volunteers at the training site. It´s great to get advice from them and hear about their experiences so far. It also makes me impatient because I want to be out and starting things at my own site but we still have 9 weeks of Pre-Service Training to go.
I´m hoping to catch at least a bit of March Madness. My current host family has CBS so that should work out nicely for the first rounds. Unfortunately I´m moving out of there to go to Field Based Training next Sunday. My only hope is that my next host family is as great as my current one.
Last week I mentioned that I would list some books I would enjoy reading, here they are:
The Price of Everything
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway
The Bottom Billion
Capitalism and Freedom
I would love any books by Peter Tamas Bauer (Development Economist) and Greg Boyd (Theologian).
Also, I´d be interested in reading any other economics-related or business-related books. Finally, I´d love to read any good novels you have enjoyed as well!
I must be siging off to pay my 18 Lempiras but I will try and write again soon! Until then, adios!
