Hola OWL, I met many of you this summer at the Boot Camp, but to all whether I have met you in person or not, I wanted to let you know that this coming Wednesday I will be leaving for Colombia to be an accompanier and human rights observer for a year. I haven't figured out if I will be blogging or just emailing about my experience, but if you are interested to know what I am up to, email me (just me!) at gale.v.stafford@xxxxxxxxx and I would be happy to send up the general updates to you. So of course, if Colombia, or any of the political or cultural activity there, comes up at school, I would be thrilled to be in contact with you or your classes about any of the work I am doing, or any of the language and fun new vocabulary I'm encountering (de verdad, es mi favorito)! It will definitely work through email, and probably by Skype, though I will update on that. Don't worry about burdening me, either, because PR is actually part of my job there! Hasta pronto, amig@s, Gale
