Time to say adios…

One month ago, I was so excited about the idea of going back to Canada, to the beginning of a new life chapter. Seeing my friends and family, moving into my new apartment and getting a new job seemed exactly like what I wanted to do. I had no idea that I would feel so sad when the last few days came.

Graduation ceremonies... and more food poisoning, please!

Two Fridays ago were the graduation ceremonies in Todos Santos  for the participants in the business, literacy and leadership program who completed their classes this year. Last Friday, a similar event took place in Comitancillo. I had the pleasure to attend both events.

As the one month countdown has started, I am realizing a little bit more every day how much I love Todos Santos Cuchumatán.

I know this subject has already been written about, but I feel like lately, challenging situations have happened to me, and the only thing that saved me from keeping my sanity was… my flexibility.

Every year, the Guatemala and Honduras interns have the amazing opportunity to visit one another and spend a few days getting to know the program in the other country.  Ali and Shannon, the Honduras interns, came to Guatemala last July, so it was now our turn to visit them in Ciriboya. I absolutely loved it.

Organized Files

I had the idea to help with the organization of the CAUSE office a few months ago when we where in Comitancillo. Some of the files, especially for the literacy and leadership programs, were disorganized and it was hard to find any information since the files were all over the office and did not have a standarized name.

As there was another long weekend, going to Atitlan again sounded very tempting. However, there are so many other places I haven’t visited, that I finally decided I should go somewhere else. I decided to go to Antigua.
