PAD Part 55 (Final Photo a Day Post!)

This is going to be my last update for my Photo a Day Project. Since I started it when I got to Ambae, it feels right to finish it now that I've moved out of the island and to the capital. I will keep updating this blog occasionally, but without the regularity of the past two years.
This project has been a pain in the butt at times, and I've missed and made up for more days than I'd like to admit, but I'm so glad to have these photos to look back on. I will update once more (probably tomorrow?) with a compilation video of the photos from the past year.
Living in Vanuatu has been a trip, and while I'm sad to have left my friends and family on Ambae, I'm looking forward to getting down to business with my new job in the Capital.
Here's to one more year!

The two wonderful Program Managers for the Peace Corps Vanuatu IT folks, Bela and Len

One of the projects I'm helping with this year is with these girls. They were part of SMART Sistas ICT Camp last year, and were selected to participate in a robotics competition in Washington DC in July. I, along with a few others, are helping them to build and program the robot.

The first trial robot completed! It's a little car that can drive around; now on to designing and building our own robot!

This is Seli, she works at the front desk in the Peace Corps office, and is a lovely first face to see when arriving at the office

Starting my new work; mobile app development. This is an app that will help people track their blood pressure and heart rate.

This seemed like a fitting photo to end on; waving goodbye as we head off to a 4-year-old's birthday party on Iririki
