My Organization

        My organization has not really gotten back to me since we've started class. The women who was going to lead our project, Guadalupe vargas, had a death in the family. So now they are trying to figure out who we help take on her work load. So, I'm patient with it and I know it will work out in the end. It seems like it will be a fun organization to work for many reasons.
       There website is clearly organized to describes who this organizations is made of, who they're trying to help, and what they stand for. These seem to be strong women that take their education to further there communities welfare for the better. I expect to learn more about a culture that is different from mine. I grew up european american, so I didn't receive the discrimination and disadvantages there would be growing up a latina. I can understand being a woman though and reproductive rights, to me, are something every women should have. I don't really know if the culture has an affect on this, but I am interested in learning if it does.
     From what I've gathered and what my classmates have, I believe we are doing an event with art. This is a great idea. Seeing things in a visual manner makes everything even more realistic and powerful. Seeing is believing is the statement. Something like fear and oppression is not usually seen. It's felt. I'm excited to see the reactions people have to going beyond how they see the world.
   I do hope we can start on the project soon though. I know it's suppose to be in the middle of march. My expectations can not be supported or unfounded so far. I have not had much contact with them. I'm just hoping for the best. Volunteering should always broaden your views of the world.
