The second month is going swimmingly. The work has really picked up and I'm feeling good in my job. Right now I'm very busy working on re-vamping the website. My supervisor and I spent the last few weeks creating a facilitation guide for people to use and now I'm working on getting that content onto the website, making the website more efficient and pretty, and using direct language so people will feel comfortable using our resources. Honestly, I'm not sure how the project (thousand kites) has survived as long as it has without some of these resources.

I also created an image that folks can insert into their blogs or websites or whatnot to "advertise" the project. So I'll insert it here!:

What's coming next for us in the mountains? We'll be attending the Critical Resistance conference out in Oakland next week, and I'll be presenting a workshop (my first with the org), so that'll be exciting. And then I move on to a big project that I mentioned last post--the digital storytelling map. I'm going to refrain from talking too much about it yet, because I want to wait til I actually get into it. But look for that next time!

Moving to rural Kentucky sure was an experience. But as the days pass I'm settling in more and getting more accustomed to living in such a small town. I'm really enjoying my work at Appalshop. …read more
