King of the Plaza: Zeus
Just days left and I can’t believe that I have not once posted a photo of Zeus.
Capilla Cué Micro
I was waiting for my micro in Paraguarí when I realized just how much this old bus has grown on me.
Pantanal: Los Tres Gigantes
The Pantanal is the largest wetland on earth and sort of a Mecca for Environmental PCVs here. With less than three months left I thought I better make the pilgrimage now to prevent any regrets.
Huerta Escolar
For the past two years I’ve been working with my school contact, Profe Vilma, to teach a gardening class. My first year I was assisting, this year I was the Profe.
Ahecha National Competition
I had so much fun teaching Ahecha last year that I wanted to do again. This time I had five students. It was just like last time, teaching the basics of camera usage, but most importantly trying to get them to see the world a little bit differently.
Party Like A Paraguayan
The electronic scene is alive and kicking in Paraguay, at least down in Pilar.
Chasing Waterfalls
Its seems just about everyone in Paraguay knows about Salto Cristal. But you wouldn’t think that if you just stumbled upon it. It’s so far off the beaten path there’s a chance you’ll have it all to yourself.
Paraguay Verde V
Last month we had our big environmental summer camp where we, through a variety of means, try to inspire youth to be more conscientious about the environment. This was my second time, but it was a whole different experience as it was my G’s turn to run it. Everyone had their part and I decided to help the media team with documenting the camp. I also brought along my youth contact Nery, whom I shadowed to film his experience.
Wild Things
One of my new volunteer cohorts, Nick Gengler, works in wildlife monitoring, and brought some specialized cameras to Paraguay to study the local biodiversity. After visiting my site during PCT he proposed bringing out his cameras to Capilla Cué for a test run.
