Today marks the beginning of second semester and this trip is actually becoming a reality. There's this part of me that knows that I am very cut out for this and that enthusiasm will grip me as soon as I see the kids but then there is also this other side of me that is really scared to go into a community severely different from anything I've ever known for three whole months. I got so caught up with the fundraising that I haven't really been able to mentally prepare myself for this. I guess it is kind of impossible to mentally prepare yourself for the unknown, maybe that is why I've been avoiding it. However, so many of you have continued to voice your support and that along with the brave, enthusiastic side of me assures me everything will be okay.
Come what may.

About Me
- Siobhan Sweeny
- I'm a second year student at U of T in St. Michael's College studying Architecture, Visual Art Studio, and Art History. I never intended on going into the Intercordia Program but ended up in a meeting somehow and it spoke to me like nothing else had. I knew it was something I needed to do and I'm really excited to be spending May, June, July, and a little bit of August 2009 in Estili, Nicaragua volunteering at Funarte! Intercordia is a registered charity. BN# 833547870RR0001

Strange. I've been thinking pretty much the same thing over the last few days.
