More stories to come, but here is a quick photo of my host family this week (more on Flickr). I stayed in the pueblo of a volunteer married couple here in the Comarca Ngabe-Bugle. Highlights were: studying the local Ngabe language, learning how to build a latrine, helping to dig a fish pond on a family farm, giving the local elementary school kids a lesson on the importance of handwashing and of course, absorbing the indiginous culture by staying with a host family and being exposed to local customs (arts, dance, language, food, life without electricity, cold bucket showers, etc).
Next, I´m heading out to Boquete for coffee training this week. There, I will learn everything there is to know about coffee: from seed to cup! Updates soon!
