Sorry for the long delay. I just came back into Port Vila for the first time in 4 months. All is well here in Vanuatu! So much has been going on in Malekula.
We had our week-long Kamp G.L.O.W. and it was a huge success! (Thanks to all the WONDERFUL donations we received.) The girls had a blast, especially the six of us who ran the camp- myself and 5 amazing friends who came to help out. You can check out some photos here:

We've had 2 new PCVs join us on Malekula, including one in the NW, close to me. Next year, hopefully, it will be easier to do projects and activities, now that I have a neighbor to work with. The other PCV is based in the Education office in Lakatoro, which will help in my work with schools and teachers.
McKenzie and I are planning on doing another Kamp G.L.O.W. in her village, only this would be only for 3 days instead of 5. Other exciting plans for next year include Adolescent Reproductive Health workshops, helping out with Kamp G.L.O.W.s on other islands (Efate, Ambae, and Tongoa), and trying to find books/computers/shelves for our school library. The second year is going to fly by. Everyone in my village is already talking about how sad they are that I'm leaving so soon and how much they will miss me when I'm gone! I try not to think about it, since it will be hard to leave.
Tomorrow I leave for Auckland, New Zealand- I will be travelling around (mostly the South island) for 6 weeks! I will have internet access pretty regularly there, at hostels and internet cafes, so email me at: laura.klatka@gmail.com
I will be sure to post updates with links to pictures!
Love,
Laura
