Ojalá que llueva café en el campo
The title of this blog post comes from a famous Dominican song “I hope it rains coffee in the fields.” A month ago when my site was a dust bowl of dry earth, I really hoped it would rain. Now that the rainy season is here, I am second-guessing my wish. Perhaps an important final verse of that same song could read, “I hope that it rains, but not so much that the roads wash out and I get covered in mud and have to wash my clothes, which for the record will never dry because it’s still raining coffee.”

Kate:
I am a high school science teacher and RPCV (Forestry Program, Ecuador, 1993-1995). I will be in Calhuitz, Hueheutenango, Guatemala from July 10 to July 30 with a group of high school students under the asupices of the Global Public Service Academy. We will be working in health clinics with a professor from Duke University with the Engineering World Health program. I am interested in finding a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Huehuetenango region that I could exchange ideas with about needs and projects before we leave the US. Could you possibly provide me with an email for an appopriate person? Thanks in advance.
whoops, not sure if I gave you an email address for me.
I don't know any health volunteers in Huehuetenango with regular email access (the only ones I know are in the middle of nowhere). You should contact the APCD in charge of Healthy Homes: Basilio Estrada (bestrada @ gt. peacecorps .gov -- but with no spaces). He might have the time to discuss project needs, or maybe he could put you in touch with a volunteer near where you will be.
Suerte!
