Workin

Hey ya´ll, everything is going pretty good down here. It´s sad but we already had two volunteers leave from my group. They are leaving to go back home on Fri. They felt this just wasn´t right for them. So that was best for them. But it still sucks i will miss them terribly. We spent three months as a very tight group. But anyways, today was a pretty sad day for me because me and my counterpart are trying to save this gorgeous tree inside a plaza. They want to build school buildings there and cut the tree down. The tree is 100 years old. My office is offering alternatives to cutting it down. One alt. is me. they know this is what i do for a living. So we are offering pruning suggestions and i will climb it and prune the proper limbs. but they called us today and we went out to the site and they told us that they were going to cut it down. Which i might possibly do also. 100 years to grow and ten minutes to kill. Que triste! but there is another tree that i think we will save that i might prune. But to answer jagdeeps inquiries. A lot of change is going on down here and it is real exciting to be apart of it. I can not express my own opinion about these things because we are a non-political org. and this is a public blog so any body can see it. But what basically happened is Evo sent the military to take over the gas companies. He is going to nationalize Bolilivias natural resources so they are not privately owned. this way more money comes to Bolivia and doesn´t leave the country. Eventually nationalizing all of Bolivia´s natural resources. Tom. there is a meeting with the presidents from all surrounding countries. It is very interesting. And to make anybody that is worried about this feel better, i will say peace corp has been calling me to see if everything is all right at my site because we have a refinery about 5 kilometers away from our city. But everything is normal here and i haven´t seen any problems or even the presence of the military around Villa montes. But it is all very interesting to see the drastic changes going on in this country! But if CNN tells ya´ll something is goin on down here that i need to know about please call me. But I hope all is well with everyone. Thanks for keepin up with me.
If lindsay from SC reads this i hope all is well with you and that your baby is coming along fine. tell me how things come out...
