I had an exciting morning. I had my first tech interview, so I talked with the person that will be placing me in a site. We talked about possible niches for me and project opportunities. I am excited about it, because it seems like there will be a place for me in small animal husbandry (working with people on chicken coop projects and etc) and also in integrated farming techniques (that is helping people plant a variety of crops and doing this in a specific order). I am very excited about the prospects of doing either of these things, because I feel like I have real experience and knowledge to bring to the subject. I am passionate about these things, and I have concrete experience from home on chicken coop design and etc. Today I talked about the possibility of keeping chickens with larger farm animals (like horses or sheep) so that they have a place to graze, but also making small coops for them to stay in at night and lay their eggs in. I am excited, because my director hadn´t heard of that idea before. So I do have ideas of real value. It really helped to realize this, and it made me feel that I will be able to make a worthwhile contribution here. I am quite happy about all of this.
I am going to be going on a site visit from Sunday morning until Wednesday. I am pretty excited about the visit, and I am going with another PCV who is very nice and whom I would love to get to know better. It sounds like we´re going to tour some coffee fincas on horseback and go see the PCVs fruit tree cooperative. So I think the whole thing sounds great!
