Tuesday I stumbled upon an organization that does Spanish classes with a home stay option (ReachBolivia.com). While investigating the website, I saw a section on volunteering. There were some basic volunteer positions and then further down the page - the kicker... wait for it.. there was 1 position listed for.... ART THERAPY PROGRAM with disabled children! My jaw literally dropped. I began emailing back and forth with the coordinator and this morning it all came together! My July is now filled with studying Spanish, staying in a Bolivian home with other foreigners and assisting another volunteer with facilitating an art therapy program for disabled children.
So while continuing to email back and forth about details for the program, I start searching for my flight tickets. I ended up getting an awesome flight deal from Boston to Bolivia and then from Peru to Boston. (still haven't figured out how I'm getting from Bolivia to Peru..).
So the plan that stands- leaving Seattle for Boston June 29th- leaving Boston for Bolivia July 4th and then leaving Peru for Boston Aug. 31st.
I also had an amazing celebration tonight. Friends from all parts of my life coming together to celebrate my 25th birthday- so much fun. I could not stop smiling. I am getting to do what I have wanted to do for some time now-> I am truly blessed with opportunities and amazing support systems. It is so humbling.. how good God is even when I am doubtful- He does not give up on his plan for me.
