A busy week at the Missions

It´s been a very busy week for me with not much time available to access the Internet. The week has largely consisted of the group of us going from Bolivarian Mission to Bolivarian Mission, including Missions Robinson, Ribas, Sucre, and Mission Barrio Adentro. These are basically social programs set up by the government to help those most in need. You can read more about them on Wikipedia by clicking here. For each Mission we visit their offices in the community and spend a few hours interviewing and talking with the people running them and even some of the participants being helped by them. It has all been a very enlightening experience and I will be talking more about it in a few days.

My trip here is unfortunately coming to a rapid end. I am scheduled to return back home on Tuesday the 5th. Its been a wonderful experience for me, meeting so many new people, making many new friends, and immersing myself in whole a new culture. I have experience nothing but kindness and generosity from the Venezuelan people and have enjoyed every minute of being here. I will be reflecting more and posting many more new pictures once I´m home.
