yo

what up everyone,
it's me. irene. still rolling around the lasallian circle. (kinda). i am in the philippines (and have been for almost a month) and just had a nice visit with the Christian Brothers here at De La Salle University in Manila. It's crazy, we did prayer and community dinner and everything here. I felt like i was still a volunteer!
i also met with the director of the Lasallian Volunteers here in the Philippines. if you people think your jobs are tough, you should seriously see what these people do. They live in the most rural areas of the country. no electricity, no internet, no nothing. they eat snakes and frogs. they don't have hot water. they have to build their houses because there is no community house for them to live in. it's pretty rough, but seems very rewarding.
i hope you are all doing well. your stories are funny and makes me laugh. i miss being an LV but i see that what happened to me in memphis had to be dealt with elsewhere. anyways, gotta jet. take care of yourselves and always keep it real. ha

IRENE!
We miss you! I am so glad to hear you're doing well.
Damn girl! The Philippenes? How'd you end up out there, that's awesome. Any time you want to come to New York you know you've got a place to stay, and yes we do prayer and dinner too.
peace,
maureen

Irene,

Glad to hear you're doing so well and chillin' in the Phillipines. You are part of the Lasallian circle, and I love to see your posts. Keep 'em coming. And ditto on the NYC thing. You're always welcome.
