On Wednesday Heidi arrived, a blue-eyed grad student from the maritimes who is writing her thesis on the fundacion's education metholodology. It's been so nice to have her here -plenty more wholesome n' less lonesome. A teacher in Nunavut for the last few winters, she's been appointed to teach English, with me as her assistant. Its true I've been avoiding the idea of teaching English since I got here, but it seems to be one of the few things I am actually qualified to do, and it's a chance for me to get more comfortable in a classroom, speaking out, while getting to know students – so do it I will.
Compost is rumbling right along – I've finished a small zine on how-to and whys, and am onto riding my bicycle around town to collect materials. Sandra has told me to make a wish list of all things “sustainable” and “compost-y” to put in a grant application we are sending off to Pangea. We're even tossing around the idea of adding a recycling project – starting small, with just plastic bottles and paper. Any neat ideas on how to reuse bottles?...
