We were invited to talk to another school! This time we briefly talked about us and talked more about how beautiful Romania is and how they need to keep it beautiful. Students were more involved this time since we were asking them about what they thought of their town and how to make a difference in keeping it clean. We were really impressed because the school initiated different interactive sessions with the students; a river clean up, a march on one of the main streets in keeping the city clean, and drawing environment awareness posters. We can only hope the message made it to the public.

Misc. Update:
The unemployment agency is my primary project, currently working alone (don't really have a counterpart) which makes things a tad bit harder especially if they really don't know why I'm here, but it is not uncommon for a Peace Corps volunteer to be thrown in, just need to be a little patient, dynamic, and a good listener. Slowly (I mean slowly) making some leads in trying to work with the Roma Population, hoping that this will materialize.
Still trying to find an apartment that I can stay at, a project, and a counterpart.
Heading to Ramnicu Valcea with Bryan who also works for the unemployment agency in Onesti (we were trying to brainstorm for some ideas, he works on the local level and I'm more on the county level). Ramnicu Valcea is about four hours east and a little north. We are going to meet volunteers from our group (group 22) and from group 21, and hopefully no rain so we can bbq on Saturday.
