I know that Mathis really enjoyed his week in Bogota, and he's so grateful to have had this opportunity. He met with several families to discuss their experiences with the political unrest and violence occurring throughout the country. Mathis is part of a small team from Virginia Tech that received a grant to do this research. They met with parents, children, school officials, and other community agencies while they were there, and Mathis had a great opportunity to exercise his Spanish speaking abilities. :)
He could tell you so much more about the trip and the research -- my knowledge is limited. But I am very proud of him, and I know that he learned a lot during this past week. Right now he's on his was back from DC, and I'm counting down the hours. I really don't do that well on my own -- I get bored, the dogs drive me crazy, I don't seem to eat as well, the list could go on... Basically I'm just ready for my other half to come home!!
