Stranger in Oaxaca

The start of my adventure began this past November when I received my acceptance letter into the ProWorld Service Corps program. I will spend two months assisting members of the community in an Anthropology related project, most likely affiliated with the Union de Museos Comunitarios. Follow me through the entire ProWorld experience as I make my way from all of the preparations and finally embark on my journey to Oaxaca, Mexico!

My Homestay ~

Here is the summary I received from ProMexico:

"The Revilla Pulido family has been hosting international students for several years and enjoys meeting people with different backgrounds and the intercultural exchanges that result. Mireya, the mother, is a widow who works from home (she is an accountant). She lives with her mother (abuelita Semiramis) in a nice home 20 minutes walking from the city center. Her son, Marco Antonio, studies in Mexico City but occasionally visits. This is a lively household with Mireya's work staff, miscellaneous family members and even a cat and parakeet all coming in and out."
