Hey hey all,

Matt wrote last time and now it's my turn.  Since he never got around to what we've been up to, let me summarize:
Matt- working with a youth (30 years old guy) from our village to put together a proposal for a fish/prawn farm to generate income (which is harder said than done), Natuvu Kids Club founder/leader, helping to harvest sea cucumber, working in our garden, waste management stuff and  Fiji 'guy' stuff- drinking grog, spear fishing, playing rugby.
Me- working with the local health center on a healthy lunch competition and a strategic health and wellness plan for next year, Natuvu Kids Club leader, letter exchange between the school and Becky's school and Fiji 'girl' stuff- weaving a mat, cooking, hand washing clothes, visiting with the ladies.
Other stuff going on: Thanksgiving with the entire Vanua Levu crew (about 17 volunteers) is this week and my friend, Kara (another volunteer) is visiting from Viti Levu and is staying over at our house tonight.

Lately, me and Matt have gotten a bunch of care packages- THANK YOU!!!!  It is so nice having stuff from home: candy, shampoo/condition, movies, pictures, books, decorations, etc... There are just some things that you can't buy over here or they are not nearly as good of quality.

That's enough from me. Hopefully next time we can put up a few pictures.  Write us/call us- we miss everyone!  Also, we'll try our best not to be punks and do the same for you!

Love,
Alyssa aka Liss
