In the last six weeks many visions and plans of work here have been replaced by actual experiences. And incredibly, the realities have almost all been more positive than the anticipations.
We're in a transitional stage now. Several of our coworkers - both temporary volunteers and permanent staff - are returning home to the US and we're both adopting some of their responsibilities. In planning for fall, we're looking to continue some of the Center's standing activities and also to expand its impact with new activities.
We'll leave it somewhat vague for now until we get more time for a detailed update. : )
Enjoy these pictures from our excursion to Mirusha Falls today with students who participated in the University camp!
Lacey jumps from the lowest waterfall (L), while our group watches from their rock perch (R).
Lacey walks the path to the first waterfall.
A group of sweet little troublemakers sidled up to Lacey when she offered them snacks. Later they escorted us back to our vehicles and helped us pick up the blanket of litter beside the path.
This is the rock face on one side of the lake (footpaths are hidden throughout). Large plastic pipes supply a waterwheel (bottom R) that generates power for a boom box and refrigerator at the concession stands down near where we sat.
A student and Landon both enjoying the technical solution. If only Kosovo could harness natural forces to get reliable power for the entire country!

I was reading this blog last night, wondering when we'd get another update. Glad to hear things are still going well. :)
ReplyDeleteAn awesome place. Looks like fun although I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to jump like you did Lacey.
ReplyDeleteActually, the above comment is from Mom, not Evan, for some reason it pulled Evan's google. He'd probably jump!
