Dear Liz,
Thought I'd answer your question personally. It's hard to say exactly what I'll be doing quite yet. The basis of my project, Youth Development, is working with 13-15 year olds and their teachers and teaching about topics that don't get talked about in schools here (sex ed, HIV/Aids prevention, self-esteem, communication, relationships, career planning, etc.). The two volunteers that I've gotten a chance to speak with say that the curriculum is really effective, and the kids are really benefiting from it. Besides this main project, however, it falls on me to develop my own side projects (which will also depend a lot on the actual needs of the community I'm placed in). So I guess I can't say what I'll be doing.
How are you guys doing out there in Indy? I miss you chica!!
Write soon,
Hannah
