It might not be obvious from Emily's tone, but the Ambassador's help in resolving the issue with APROFAM and the Ministry of Health is a VERY big deal to Emily. She told me later that she'll probably remember it as the highlight of her Peace Crops service.

I, too, am very excited about it, but for a different reason. When we started the blog, it was to keep our friends and family aware of what we were up to, nothing more. Never did I imagine that we would not only get 200 readers a day, meet amazing new people, and bring in extra support for our villagers... but that the Ambassador himself would read it and lend his considerable influence to change a national policy.
