	Hi Andrew, [Andrew Kemp is Travellers Project Co-ordinator for Bolivia] Thanks for your best wishes ... and yes I´m here in one piece, and settling in nicely.! The reception I have received from EVERYONE has been truly superb, and at times I must say very humbling. It has been a LONG time since I have met a group of people who are so kind, thoughtful and understanding. I could write volumes on my first couple of days here, there has been so much going on ... but a brief summary would be to say that everything is going so well, I have been made to feel so welcome and special... it makes me feel quite emotional at times.! Thanks again for all you have done...and please thank all at Travellers who have been involved...this is truly a remarkable experience. Thank you. Best wishes, Andrew. Further through his placement: Hi Andrew..... Greetings from Cochabamba.. ! I really can't believe that I've been here SIX weeks already.....time has just flown by. ! When I arranged to be here for the two months, there was always a possibility of me extending for a further month.....and that is what I would like to do. I am very grateful for all the help I received from yourself; Natalia, and all at the U.K Office, in the run-up to my departure, but I must say that the assistance, guidance and friendship extended to me by Jorge have been second to none. You have yourself a First Rate Manager here in Bolivia! I will be forwarding my Placement Questionnaire to you in due course, along with a few photos. Thank you again, Andrew Wibberley.
	Patricia Bristol-Clarke April 2007 Country: Bolivia Project: Orphanage
	I can hardly believe that it's almost time to leave Bolivia. I am leaving already on Friday morning - I switched my days this week from Sunday to Thursday so that I can leave on Friday morning to catch my tour to Lake Titicaca from La Paz. (Jorge spoke to the orphanage and arranged the change for me). I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement at the orphanage. It's such a worthwhile project and I truly felt that I was able to make a difference in the lives of babies that I have looked after. The orphanage is extremely well organized and it has been a pleasure to work there. They are really in need of volunteers and I hope this will become a popular project for Travellers. Jorge will be taking some pictures of me with the children before I leave - I will make sure that I send some copies to you. Bolivia is a beautiful country and I am glad I was able to travel around during my short stay here. I found Travellers to be a thoroughly well organized and professional organization and I really hope I can sign up for another project in the near future.
