HIV/AIDS Prevention (#1-4): My small group preparing to give a talk on AIDS to a group of young women ages 15-20. Yes, we really did demo how to put on a condom using a cucumber! =)
Building a Walkway through the Dump (#5-10): Aaron, the "Americain Noire" has to walk through the dump to get to his house. We built the path and put up signs to leave that area trash-free. The little boy in the blue & red shirt is my brother, Yann.
My "Homestay" House in Alepe (#11-15): Note the lace curtains in the doorway which are supposed to act like screens. Also, live ficus trees in the front yard. The rusty gate (with Yann) cracks me up - we open & close the gate each time, rather than simply climbing through the gate with the massive hole! I also took a shot of the cocoa tree across the street - so tropical here!!! The house across the street (light blue rusty gate) is where my friend Megan lives.
Goodbye to Volunteers (#16-18): Many of the Americans hanging out saying goodbye to Scott (blond, light blue shire) and Sky (long brown hair, black tank top).
Alepe (#19-22): Pictures of the city of Alepe where we live. Catholic Church/large meeting room; the paved road; Megan standing in front of typical jungle vegetation - another dump is behind what you can see; The goats feeding down the street from my house.
BUGS! (#23): The BIGGEST bus I've ever seen (plus my foot for scale). I think they're called Scarabies. I hardly ever see them alive, but each morning they litter the streets. Icky!!!
Neighbors (#24-25): The beautiful kids next door who saw I had my camera out. =)
