Wishing

I am asking family and friends to please write me a letter (or two!) about a memory, some words of wisdom, anything you want. I plan on keeping them with me during service and opening them spontaneously during difficult times. Just seal it up and write your name and the date on the outside. Thank you so much for your support! I wouldn't be able to do this without you! 


 Also, I am officially broke and will be for the next two years! This is my wish list :)

Thanks for the idea Amanda :)

  2. Lauren,
    Did you find the nearest bar yet, you could probably use a drink, lol. Can we ride Harley's there? Try not to drink too much of the water. Have you dug a hole yet like we talked about before you left,lmao. I miss you very much!! I'm proud of you and look forward to seeing you whenever you can get time to come home. We will check back often to keep in touch. Let me know if you need anything and how I can send it to you. If you can find any cool sea shells send me them or bring them back when you come home. Remember when we had the boat camping in Virginia and your Uncle's guided me in to the dock with a lantern and I hit the dock? If you hold a lantern on the beach I might have a good chance to find ya if I skydive down to you or atleast an easier landing,lol. Love ya very much! Dad

  3. Good Day Lauren!

    Sorry to bother you. My name is Ray Blakney and I am a RPCV from Mexico. 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 - http://www.livelingua.com - 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 world 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 at:

    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 of the Peace Corps Archive:

    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.
