La Plata it is:)
The switch to Argentina was smoothly handled by the FSD staff and I am set to fly out of Columbus at 5pm on September 28th. My new organization is basically a non-profit journal that likes to get its hands wet in community development initiatives. A far cry from an NGO that focuses on greenhouse agriculture in isolated Andean villages, but heck, I can always do Bolivia in a few more years (maybe while i'm running away from debt accrued in graduate school!).
I'll be living in La Plata, which is a city about 45 miles to the southwest of Buenos Aires. My job detail is vague right now as the workplan will be developed during my first week with the organization, but I know i'll be working on something to do with the following:
- helping with an international semiar on climate change
- creating a GIS and maps about rural agricultural villages
- following up on some sustainable agriculture initiatives implemented by the World Bank
- investigating Yerba Mate production in the province of Misiones
