The new group of Environmental Volunteers just swore in with a ceremony at the Panama Canal Museum. The US Ambassador spoke about the importance of Peace Corps in Panama.
Ambassador Eaton with our Country Director.
As a group we took a vacation to go to the Royal Decamoran all inclusive resort to celebrate surviving one year in country. The above picture was in the swim up bar. This was also a great chance to catch up with other volunteers that live far away and to exchange ideas. For example I learned of a business volunteer that is buying a machine that automatically takes the shells off rice. It sits in the bed of a truck, to operate you jack the wheels off the ground and use the car engine to turn the motor. This is a great example of using local resources and also the rice peeler will go where the rice is.
This is one of the main pools and the discoteca at night. It was a wild time!
