April, April, April!
What a great month! I had some volunteers come and stay with me, I went to Istanbul, Turkey for a few days, helped with a trash fashion show, received the books I requested from an awesome
organization and I (
gulp) turned 30!
I would also like to say a huge congratulations to my cousin Shelly who became engaged to her boyfriend (now fiancee) Danny in April!!!!

| Some of my fellow volunteers came into town and crashed with me. The first night it was Swain and Ryan. We went to a Russian restaurant for dinner. So we had Borscht and vodka, delicious vodka and lots of it! |
Istanbul:We ate great food and saw so many amazing sites in Istanbul. It was what I was expecting and so, so, so, much more than I expected. We were only there for 3 full days so it was a quick trip, but we saw a lot and had a great time. We stayed in the Fatih Sultan Mehmet section of town which is probably the most, or one of the most, touristy area's of Istanbul.

When I got back from Istanbul I was pleasantly surprised by a package of books from the
Darien Book Aid Plan. I had written to them and requested childrens books for the library in my village and they did not dissapoint! They run completely on donations and help a lot of people out all over the world, so if you have some time and some money you want to donate to a good fund that has a direct impact I ask that you check them out and seriously consider sending them a donation!
