Friday, October 15, 2010. I will, yet again, be out of internet service for the next few weeks. I plan to have a lot of pictures when I get back in November, and will post updates and photos as soon as possible! Ashlee K. Vincent. October 16, 2010 at 4:54 PM. Sounds awesome, Ashlee! Hope you have a great trip, and keep us posted. :-). December 6, 2011 at 2:17 PM. Good morning how are you? For all this I would ask you one small favour:. Calle Valencia, 39.

Ashlee and Suriname: Swearing In
http://ashleevincent.blogspot.com/2009/08/swearing-in.html
Saturday, August 1, 2009. The speech I gave at the swearing in ceremony:. My name is Ashlee. I lived in Asigron for the last 8 weeks. In Asigron they call me Bendemai. I was one of 10 people who lived with Saamakan families during training. When we arrive in our sites we will thank the people of Asigron, Drepada, Victoria, and Hermansdorp. We will live better because we will know the Saamakan way of life. Thank you. Ashlee K. Vincent. October 21, 2009 at 4:01 PM. And add to the guide. Other PCV's and MI's.

Ashlee and Suriname: July 2009
http://ashleevincent.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 26, 2009. Training is officially (almost! Some of this I laughed at while it was happening, but I laugh at all of it now. :). We have our swearing in ceremony on Wednesday, and the PC staff asked me to give a little talk in the Saamakan language. Yikes! My host family will be there along with all the current volunteers, so I’m feeling the pressure. Wish me luck, and I’ll hopefully have some pictures from the ceremony soon afterwards. Ashlee K. Vincent. Saturday, July 4, 2009. Serving in the ...

My Time in Belize: My Sister Sylvia
http://meganinbelize.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-sister-sylvia.html
My Time in Belize. Tuesday, July 5, 2011. When I am getting to know people it is always common for them to ask questions like: “where is your mother? 8221; “are you married? 8221; “how many children do you have? 8221;, and “how many sisters do you have? 8221; I have noticed that they rarely ask me, “where is your father? 8221; or “how many brothers do you have? So basically the conversation always goes like this:. Q: how many sisters do you have? Me: none, I just have one brother. 8221; “no” ...8221; I g...

My Time in Belize: August 2011

My Time in Belize. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Where does time go? Where does time go anyway? Its been two years since I moved to Belize, and it is coming up on my time to go home. Sometimes it feels like I have been here forever, but a lot of the time I can't believe. It it almost over. So here is a bit of what is going on in the last couple months. Thanks to a lot of help from my mom and others back home, we will soon have books for our school! Friday, August 5, 2011. Learning to wash my clothes in the r...

My Time in Belize. Friday, July 23, 2010. My House Under Attack. I have had a bit of a crazy week in my house. I think that the rain is making all the animals (and children) act a bit crazy. For some reason my house seems like a reasonable shelter to them all. They are also building in my water house, but I decided I can live with that for now. Me: Your goal cannot be my front door, okay? Juan: It is not your door, see the cans? Monday, July 5, 2010. I can't believe it is already July! The beginning of t...

My Time in Belize: December 2010
http://meganinbelize.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
My Time in Belize. Friday, December 3, 2010. So normally one would expect a blog entitled "November" to follow the one entitled "October" since we are now in December. However, I am having a hard time grasping the idea that November is already over. Where did it go? This year, though, I have had goosebumps and actually have said the words "I'm freezing" in the middle of the day. Since when should I want a long sleeve shirt when it is the mid-upper 70s? This all leads me to two thoughts. Anyway, Tropical ...

My Time in Belize: April 2011
http://meganinbelize.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
My Time in Belize. Saturday, April 2, 2011. This thing called integration. So how much can I really fit in in a village of Mayan people? This is the question that goes around in my head a lot. I have definitely made myself a home here that I enjoy and feel very comfortable in. As I wander around, most dogs no longer bark at me, only one baby still cries, and most everyone just waves, says "byebye Megan! Or invites me in to visit for a bit. Why don't you marry so and so and stay here forever? Nicelia: la'...

http://meganinbelize.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
My Time in Belize. Monday, December 19, 2011. I don't want to write about all the goodbyes because after three weeks at home I can still feel the anxiety and emotions of leaving the village, but I do want to write about the goodbye party the school held for me :). The week before I left I started getting comments from the kids of "did the principal tell you we will have a party? So after all of that and some hugs, we all went to have lunch together. My last day with the feeding program. Thanks Ir...Getti...

My Time in Belize: June 2010
http://meganinbelize.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
My Time in Belize. Tuesday, June 8, 2010. So my host sister came to me one day and said "Megan, I have a parrot! And the poor parrot was laying in the box dead. I had grown pretty attached to the squawking little creature and will miss him! I am proud to say that my village has 3 new high school graduates! Before this year only one person in the village had ever completed high school, but two boys and one girl graduated from High School this month. Thursday, June 3, 2010. I haven't updated in a long time...
