Lista!

It’s really here. I’m leaving tomorrow. My life is packed into one bag and a backpack. I’m ready.

I’m nervous about a lot of things, mostly because there’s a lot I don’t know, but more than that, I’m excited and hopeful. The final word appears to be that I’ll be doing work with the microfinance program to ascertain the reasons for the differences between people who have received loans and pulled themselves out of poverty, and those who have received loans and not pulled themselves out of poverty, as well as photography work, as mentioned in my last post. I’m excited about the opportunities to interact with the people that I think this kind of work will provide. But as always, who knows what will really happen!

While I’m gone, email and skype will be the best (only?) ways to reach me. There is only a two hour time difference (three, for you Washington folk), so finding convenient times should be fairly easy. I would love to hear from you!
