I also have exciting news to report about the project. Originally, our budget (through the Peace Corps Partnership) was for 37 stoves. PRISMA, a Peruvian non-profit organization that works in our valley, has become quite interested in the project. Because it was so well organized and there are active mothers already involved, PRISMA wants to support our community project. With PRISMA’s support, I have been able to add 14 new families to the project. 14 more stoves! This means a lot more work for me, but ultimately more of an impact in the community. Now, even after increasing the project participants up to 51families, I still have a waitlist. The project is turning out to be quite successful, and I am crossing my fingers that I will continue to have good luck until the end.

We Need a Few Good Writers!
*Travel with purpose after COS and author a travel guide for your country of service.*
Other Places Publishing, a start-up publishing house created by RPCVs, is actively recruiting PCVs in their final year of service to remain in-country after COS to research and write travel guides for their country of service. Our guides provide unique local insight, highlight those spots off the beaten path, and show the real country to travelers. If you’re up to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in hearing from R/PCVs in Central and South America. Check out www.otherplacespublishing.com for more info, or email Chris at editor@otherplacespublishing.com. Please pass this information along to other PCVs in your country. Thanks!
