Training in Toronto

Hello from the lobby of the Days Inn, in Toronto!!
I have been in Toronto with my group for the last two days. All of the volunteers in my group are really cool people! There are actually two Nicaraguan groups, and the other pales in comparison to our's. We all really seem to click. We've been undergoing all sorts of training and preperation, and it turns out that the focus of our program will be on Health Care. I can hardly wait until Thursday, when we ship out to Nicaragua.
On an interesting side note: while doing a little extra reading on Nicaragua, I read about one of the scarier insects which can be found in the country. It's called the Chaga bug (also known as the Kissing and Assassin bug). It bites it's victim on the face, usually on the lips, sucking it's fill of blood. It then deficates on the new wound. 2% of victims develop something called Chaga disease. The disease goes into remission for 5-30 years, and then the lining of your heart swells up, sometimes causing death. There is no cure. Scary stuff, I'm quite glad that I have a bug net.
