Finally! My project announcement!

Happy Long weekend to everyone!
After a whirlwind week of: finishing classes for this semester, working the two final Canucks home games of the season (before Playoffs start bien sur!), and surviving the craziest event thus far: Britney Spears' latest concert, I am happy to announce that I have finally received my project assignment for Peru.

So on this beautiful sunny day in good old Van I am excited to announce that I will be working on an urban composting project in Chachapoyas! Some of you are aware that my urban composting proposal for the city and district of North Vancouver have been put on the back burner for the past year so I am very excited to be able to share some of the knowledge that I have gained so far in a project that means a lot to me.

On another positive note, I have also successfully raise the $3,000 needed for my contribution to make this Seminar/Project happen! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me so far, you are all amazing!
If anyone still wants to contribute I am accepting extra funds that will be used to help support a shanty town school located outside of Trujillo (north of Lima). They need school supplies as well as construction supplies for the orphanage and garden that they intend on building. I will be heading over to Trujillo after my 6-week project is over in order to volunteer there for some time.

Another news flash is that I sent in my sponsorship requests to both Nikon and Sony Canada. Keep your fingers crossed that they are willing to sponsor me and I may be the new owner of a beautiful digital SLR so that I can share my peruvian experience with all of you!

On that note, buenas dias a todos, voy a caminar al sol!
