November 10th, 2011.
Hello All.
Since I haven´t writting anything in my blog, I can tell you that I have been doing many things. I am still working in my country El Salvador.
I work for an NGO that develops projects for many communities in the Lower Lempa. We try to conserve and protect the environment by doing different activities such as environmental education, wildlife conservation projects, agricultural programs, and others.
I have learned that anything you do in the present will have an effect in the future. So I do something nicely, I will have a great future. I am older and I am learning from different problems and struggles. If you don´t have a chance to make a mistake in your life, it means you are not a human.
For all who know me, I am always happy with my life.

Working in different Activities
I have been doing many activities since I came to my country. The first months I dedicated my time working with the ADESCO (Communal Development Association) of my community.
We have some sea turtle conservation projects to help the environment and maintain the sustainability of the community. People from the community go to the beach to get turtle eggs to incubate them later in turtle hatchery nursery. After 45 days we release the neonates to the sea.
Before going to the USA, I had some communication with friends from Mangrove Association. I was looking for a job related to my field, so my friends contacted me with the Environmental Program in Mangrove Association. I started working with them in November y December and doing some brochures to promote the Beauty of Jiquilisco Reserve of Biosphere. I did a lot of mapping of the areas where Mangrove Association have some work for conservation. I also, had the opportunity to work as volunteer with the Natural Resources Guards.
Right now I work with Mangrove Association with the EcoViva Program. What I do is being an interpreter for those American who don´t speak Spanish or for those Salvadorians who don´t speak English.
I am still working with the Environmental program because that is something I like to do. My goals are to have a better environmental awareness in my country and to help my community with sustainable development.

Doing something
I have been away of this blog more more than too months, but here is a little update:
As a member of my community, I am trying to help the community to write environmental and social projects.
Sometimes I feel sad because I don't see the friends I met in Oregon, but the good thing is that I am having fun when working in different tasks.
I visited many places in my country because I didn´t have that opportunity before. Now I know more my country and I can tell you many of the beautiful areas we have.
Someday, I will post beautiful pictures of me and the place I live.

Back in El Salvador
I didn’t think about the weather, something that was a really surprise for me. I was thinking to have a little weather, but when I got outside the airport I started feeling a really hot weather.
Of course, there are more important things in my country. For example there was my family waiting for this little person and after finished my journey at the airport, we went to eat pupusas to a pupusas’ restaurant. This activity was so good because I had the opportunity to eat my favorite food from my country.
I am sharing my country with people from here. So I don’t know the future surprises for my life. The only thing I want to say is that I am not really happy because I really missed Oregon and the people there; I cry some times when I remember everything I did with my friends and Host families.
Something very sad was that my community is polluted with a lot of garbage, something that was different before I went to USA. Also, my grandfather was in the hospital and my sister in law was really sick because of appendicitis.
I will be doing my best to be happy and have good experiences in my country.

Almost Home!
I am moving back to my country tomorrow. I feel excited, but at the same time I feel a little sad because I will miss a lot of friend I met here.
During this last days after my graduation I have been doing crazy things with my friends. I had dinners, little parties, visited some places, and more. My time is really short and every single minute means less time with my friend here in USA.
Today I have a going away party, So I will post pictures about it.
Also, I want to let you know that the title of this blog will change because I won't have adventures here. Expect some changes.
