Toilet Talk

We're about to get started on a project to build a new bathroom in my community (woohoo!). Please check out the details here:

Tree and Medicinal Plant Orchard Bathroom Project - Thailand

The funds have been graciously donated by a group called Water Charity. This group was started by a former Peace Corps volunteer and works very quickly to pre-fund water-related projects that Peace Corps volunteers want to do. They have pre-funded $500, which should cover most of the costs, and now we are looking for donations from those of you who would like to sponsor this project. If you would like to adopt this project and have your name forever immortalized in the annals of this bathroom (enticing I know), please feel free to donate any small amount of money you can by following the instructions on the link above. We would really appreciate your support!

We plan to finish the bathroom in about a month, in time for the Father's Day celebration that will be held at the site on December 5. By pure coincidence, my dad will be here visiting during that time. My community wants him to be the one to open the bathroom, and I told them he'd be more than willing to oblige. Better start working on that squat :)

Cats!

I've always been a dog person, but these two cats are on the verge of converting me to the other side. A few months ago, sadly, they were left for dead after birth. But they now have quite a comfortable home at our office, as you can see.
