So this is the last blog before I'll be in Bolivia, it is currently 8:49pm here in Chicago and I leave JPUSA at 1:00pm tomorrow for the airport. I'll then fly to Miami, then Santa Cruz. I should arrive in Santa Cruz at 8:00am on Sunday. I believe that Santa Cruz is in the -4:00 time zone which is the same as Eastern time. So it looks like I'll be in the same time zone as at home.
Also, news!!! sorry I didn't update this sooner, but I found out I'm working with a program called IDI. I don't yet know what it stands for but I was told it works similarly to feed the children, but IDI is a Korean organization. So I'm working with a Korean organization in Bolivia. Also I was told that Karsten Hess and I will be living together in the same host family. Our hosts have two college age kids, a High schooler (who is living in Honduras under some exchange program this year), and a middle schooler(not as sure about that one I'm blanking). But there is also a male Korean student being hosted who is 16. BUT before I go and live with them I will be living with my group for two weeks (maybe/don't really know) of language study (and some cultural introductions).
Now that I've said all that remember that this is all very unstable information and could change within the next 24 hours. I think I got the most part of it all acurate, but I don't have lots of facts, I got these from a roughly translated email, I just wanted to get an update out before I left.
