Bolivia No More

I am sad to say, I have decided to withdraw from the Bolivia program. Not knowing whether or not the political turmoil is anywhere near being resolved, sketchy information about my flight status from American Airlines, and Bolivia's ever increasing distrust towards the USA left me a bit unsettled. The withdraw of the Peace Corps from Bolivia tipped my swelling unease into a loss of patience and I decided to look for other options. Fortunately the Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD) has plenty of other programs in Argentina and Nicaragua so I am checking into what is available and should know my alternative placement in a few days. A program in La Plata, Argentina (just southeast of Buenos Aires) looks promising.

Antsy in Columbus...
