First Day at Work

So I walked the ten minutes to work today- stopped by ¡Listo!, a posh 7-Eleven type place, for a cafe americano- and I was there.  The people in charge at Edaprospo (Educación and Prosperidad hybrid) are all men, and I got to meet with them all- David, Gustavo and William.  All are super nice.  William is officially in charge of me.  He is probably 5'2" and is adorable- maybe 50 or so, looks fairly indigenous.  I definitely need to get a picture of him.  Gustavo is younger, and a bit taller- he's very funny and keeps claiming he wants me to teach him English. David is the most gringo looking of the bunch and he's the executive director.  Below is the outside of the office.
I got my own little office and I basically spent the day translating a technology survey and a social performance summary.  I needed the help of the Internets (and wordreference.com) quite a bit.  I ventured out for a walk at lunch and got some cafeteria food at a local supermercado, as well as a lúcuma ice cream cone, but of course.  I have to give a 30 minute presentation to all branch managers at a meeting on Friday, so I am using the ultimate crutch- a Powerpoint.  Needs to be about Kiva in general and Kiva's newest policies and procedures.  Good times!
