Scott and Erin Farver
Hi everyone! Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Unfortunately I did not get ice cream, but I will soon. Our host family did make 5 trays of mango float though, a yummy cold mango dessert, so I can not complain one bit! We are in San Jose now for our one week site visit. It is a bit overwhelming. I must admit I miss our host family and training community back in Igcocolo. We do not have a house our host family yet in San Jose, so we are staying in the home economics room in Scott's school - weird?!?! While it's a little sad without a family and the new city is confusing, we are both very excited about our jobs. Scott is at the central elementary school and he will likely be working in the special education school with the blind, deaf and mentally impaired. I will be working with Save the Children, an international NGO with many youth focused programs. The two I will be working most with are Adolescant Sexual and Reproductive Health and School Health and Nutrition. I am very excited about the opportunity and the organization seems wonderful. Thank you for the support and comments - we love reading them and will keep you updated!
