Hey all!
Here's something new I am doing! Want to see???
I was hoping you would say yes! I have started working with two big committees (sub-groups) of Peace Corps Paraguay. The first is the GAD committee - Gender and Development. The second is CoCuMu (Compartiendo Cultura Mundial - Sharing World Culture). I have attached a short brief about each!
GAD: Gender and Development:
GAD is the volunteer-driven Gender and Development Committee, active in several Peace Corps countries worldwide. The GAD committee of Peace Corps Paraguay is dedicated to exploring gender issues and addressing gender inequalities as they relate primarily to volunteer work in various Paraguayan communities. Our mission has led to such continuing projects as a young women’s continuing education scholarship and co-ed youth leadership camp. We are also working to develop new initiatives based on current volunteer needs and interests.
Here is there/our blog...check it out!

CoCuMu: Compartiendo Cultura Mundial - Sharing World Culture
This is the artzy side of the Peace Corps!
Here is what the blog says: Freshly formed world arts and culture crew made up of Peace Corps volunteers in the South American country of Paraguay, dedicated to fomenting creative expression in site and exposing Paraguayans to diverse arts and cultures.
So the coolest thing that is happening with CoCuMu right now is the creation of a photography project, to introduce kids to the world photography and showing them ways they can look at their world and capture moments! The project is called AhechaParaguay - which means I see Paraguay, in guarani. Check out the website if you want to know more...or donate! We are very close to reaching the 5,ooo+ dollars needed!
