so busy busy day today! and exciting news...it didn't rain! perhaps the first day since i arrived here that it was kinda clear-sky!
I spent all afternoon talking through 'all things Liberia' with Jerry. We covered details about my lodging and well-being as a new resident in a foreign land and got into some of the AYDAP nitty-gritty. We were able to share a lot of ideas about the Peace Festival that's in the works for February and I consider the brainstorm to have gone very successfully - we typed up notes along the way so that soon it will all be conveyed to the team in Liberia. Ironing out more details will be my first task post 'observation phase' when I arrive. I'm very eager to be in Monrovia a week from today and to be settled so that the work can begin!
gooooo AFRICA!!!

My dear friend Em (who is blushing right now) recently shared info about my volunteering/blogging with her friends and family and the positive results were two-fold: more people are tuning in to learn about life in another country and culture AND more donations came my way to help sustain my volunteer efforts! Wanna be cool like Em? Spread the word.
Any money donated will go directly to my volunteer efforts to help cover daily living expenses and malaria prevention meds. Donations are totally secure (through PayPal) and the donation amount is up to you. Just click on the "Make a Donation" button below to be taken to PayPal's website.Peace in Liberia! -abbe

"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination..."

So apparently I need to follow-up more often than every other week or so as I have been... I'm such a slacker!
I love your fun posts... dancing with diplomats... requests for donations w/ picture proof! You crack me up even from another continent! I'll think of a good picture request and when I have some spare $$ I'll send it your way.
Love and miss you!
