Hey there. This may not mean much to you unless you are familiar to the Rostro program, but I've been assigned to live in the "Arbolito" neighborhood of Duran. I will be living in a house there with 5 other volunteers:
- Kipp Gallagher from Seattle University
-Caitlin Long from Boston College
- Tierney Monahan from McGill University (Montreal)
- Christina Mellace from Villanova
- Brendan Bradford from the University of Scranton
Arbolito is the neighborhood in which I stayed during my trip to Ecuador in January, so I am a little familiar with the area. Arbolito is in the middle of the other two neighborhoods in terms of development, less developed than "Antonio Jose de Sucre" but more developed than "Mt. Sinai," the other two neighborhoods where volunteers will be living. The main road is paved but the rest are dirt and rock. I will let you know more about my new neighborhood once I get there.
Orientation is going well so far, although it was weird at first to be back on BC's campus without all my friends being here.
