Voy a Panama!

As you may, or may not be able to tell from the title of this post, I'm going to Panama! The AFS organization  emailed me to let me know that my application has been accepted in Panama, and they are searching for a host family for me! (Unfortunately, the email also said I may not be notified of my host family until a month before departure) Below is the subject line of the exciting email AFS sent me!!

Now I really have my work cut out for me! Up until now, fundraising has not been the most important part of this process, because I was waiting to hear if I was accepted, but now I am really working hard to save my money, and raise more for my trip! You can still donate by using the chip-in widget on the right side of the page, and any help would be REALLY appreciated!
I am also planning a Panama themed dinner for June 5, at Going Deep Sushi in Cave Junction. I  will be cooking and serving traditional Panamanian foods, such as honey chicken, arroz con guando, and empanadas! I am really excited to let the community sample these foods, as well as help raise money for my exchange! :) I will add a new post with the times and a menu for my dinner! Hope to see all of you that live in Oregon there!
