After Jilili, we traveled on very bumpy roads to visit another volunteer, Lizzy. Lizzy’s site. Potrerillo, was also amazing. She’s finishing up her service at the end of November, and one of us will actually be replacing her. It was very inspiring to see how much work Lizzy has accomplished in two years. During our visit, we did an HIV/Aids talk in her local high school, did an educational session about clean water and trash management for the members of a nearby community, watched the construction of a “cocina mejorada” (improved kitchen), and observed and learned all about the latrine project that Lizzy facilitated during her service.
Overall, I learned a lot during field based training and it made me even more excited about getting out into the field and starting my own projects. Hearing about and actually seeing the projects of other Peace Corps volunteers was definitely encouraging.
