Video

My volleyball coach in Michigan celebrated her 40th Birthday a few weeks ago! Her husband wanted to do something very special for her so he decided to e-mail all his friends and family and have them put together a video about how Coach Beth has touched their lives. I had a blast putting the video together and looking back on all the memories. My was a little different than others because there was a lot more pictures of me than of myself with Coach. I wanted to demonstrate to her the support and guidance she has shown me in all my different adventures of life.

National Youth Council Awards

- My Host Mom and Myself after she did the decorations -

This past Saturday my organization honored 20 youth throughout the island in different categories. It is an amazing way to celebrate the achievements of youth and to show Dominica that youth are truly doing something GREAT on the island.



The event was held at Fort Young Hotel located in the capital. It was also good for the guest of the hotel to see a little glimpse into what Dominican youth are doing.



-The Winner and I -

I was very proud of how well the event turned out and of the youth who respect Dominica.

Shapes, Colors, and Cutting!

Today with my Grade K students we learned about shapes, colors, and cutting!



Life is Simple!

Carnvial Mask!

Today is the FIRST day of Carnival! In proportion for this, I made Mask in the Grade K classroom! Pure joy as they got excited each time I brought out a new item from them to glue on and the final item which was GLITTER!

Requesting Pray!

Today I have a simple request! Please Pray for young Shanice! She is a fourteen year girl from Dominica who has been missing for 16 days now! On Thursday I attend a very moving candle light vigil as the individuals of her community came together to show their support for her, her family, and most importantly her safe return.

Please pray for her safety, strength for her family during this hard time, and a safe return to the ones who love and miss her.

Here is an article about her story

Canyoning!

About a month ago now a bunch of PCVs and Alicia's two friends went Canyoning! It was something that I had wanted to do for a while now and was able to cross it off my 'To Do Before I Leave' list! In a nut shell, you get all strapped in and climb yourself down these canyoning into water. If you check out this website you will understand!




It was such an amazing time! Extreme Dominica is extremly professional, friendly, and outgoing. Would go through them again! Reached out of my element during that adventure and checked something off my list! Marvelous!
