One of the things I spent a lot of time doing towards the end of my stay in Paraguay while in the office was translate documents. Pages and pages of documents from Spanish to English, to be used to solicit funding from other organizations. This didn't make it into the blog earlier because...it wasn't very exciting. Translation is tedious work (that I'll actually admit to loving) that didn't really seem worth mentioning. Well, Fundacion Paraguaya has been meeting with USAID over the past month or so and just recently received $500,000 from them for the Ikatu project! This is very exciting, and will do a lot of good.
All I did was translate things someone else had written and developed the ideas for, but it's still pretty cool to see it have direct results!
Here is an article written about this. Unfortunately for most of you, it's written in Spanish, but I thought I'd post it anyway for those of who can read it, if interested.
