Arrival and Orientation

Greetings All. It is Thursday January 11 and I will be leaving in less than a week. After a short stay in Texas I will be arriving in San Cristobal on the night of January 22. The apartment reserved for Rita and myself is at #19, Calle 18 de Agosto, which is about two blocks from the Cathedral (northeast, I think). I don't yet have a phone number.

WHen you arrive, if you don't already have a place to stay and need to drop off luggage while you arrange things, feel free to use my apartment. I would appreciate it if everyone would check in when you arrive.

Orientation will be on February 1, 10 am at my apartment. I hope to have much information gained from my week there. We can then talk over procedures for visas, visit the classroom, look into volunteer possibilities, talk about where to shop for food and necesities, discuss course expectations etc.

The dates we have so far for the modules are:
Orientation, Feb 1.
Module 1: Feb 5-23
Module 2: Feb 25-March 13
Fieldtrip: March 14-26
Module 3: March 28- April 12
Module 4: April 13-April 30

But please remember that sometimes adjustments have to be made. Being flexible in a new place opens you to all kinds of unexpected rewards.
