CPT Training?

So, I'm thinking about participating in CPT training, a 4-week "boot-camp" program for people who are interested in more involvement with CPT, in my case becoming a reservist. It would mean committing to two to six weeks of working with CPT per year, and the ways in which you can contribute vary from working with a team, to working in the office, etc. I'm talking to various people about whether this work is a good fit for me, considering whether I can make this long-term commitment or whether I'm just enthused because of my amazing experience in the summer. What isn't an issue, is whether CPT work is effective. What I saw in Colombia convinced me absolutely of the value of accompaniment work in that context. I guess I'll need to learn more about other projects, about what kind of need there is in CPT, and what I could contribute.

In the meantime my Spanish conversation classes are beginning next week, and my binge on Colombian lit has moved from Laura Restrepo to the poetry of Philip Potdevin (why do so many Colombians have such un-hispanic names?).

If anyone has comments to make, or considerations to offer me, I'd love to hear from you, either as a comment here or in an e-mail. Thanks for your interest!
