Has anyone ever volunteered with Friend Ships Unlimited? What was your experience like?
www.friendships.org -- Friend Ships Unlimited (Park West Children's Fund, Inc.), provides large scale humanitarian and disaster aid and supports ongoing programs that are having an ongoing impact on their communities. A person can volunteer to work with them. They send "mercy ships" to places in need of supplies and as we speak are mounting an effort to send a ship with supplies to the help the people of the earthquake disaster region of Peru. I would like to hear from anyone who has worked with Friend Ships. I am retired, in good health, and giving thought to the possibility of working with them myself.

I have not worked with them, but I have read about their work. I think you should definitely volunteer with that group, and then - here is the important part - write up a report on your experiences and submit it to Reader's Digest. Keep a diary of your experiences every day.

Places to visit while in Peru
Places to visit while in Peru?
I am in the process of sorting out a trip to Peru for 2.5 months to do some voluntary work with a group of 11 more people, and while I am out there I will have a few days off here and there and was just wondering what there is to do and see in the Lima & Las Flores areas. Who we are organising through have the place down as Las Flores so it is just what I wrote. I did look though and see that was it's name

Its not las flores lol its Miraflores http://lima.2night.com/home (for nightlife) EDIT: I don't know ""las flores"" but that should be your volunteer work perhaps? most likely you will be volunteering in poor areas so on your free time go to Miraflores and have fun there. You do not want to be in poor areas after dusk as it is kind of dangerous. What part are you going exactly?
2 :
maybe you are taking las flores which is in a district call san juan de lurigancho, its a popular district and in some zones dangerous if you want to have fun you must go out of there, you can go to "cerro san cristobal" its a place where you can watch all the city also is a good idea to go out of lima you can to ica is very near and cheap
3 :
I don't know Las Flores, never been there, but on your days off you could go to MIRAFLORES, that's a very touristic district in Lima. There are lots of casinos, night clubs,...nice restaurants, too! There's this shopping mall called LARCOMAR. If you go there, go to Aura or Gotica (nightclubs).. it's like $15 cover.

Is it wrong to meet coffee with an ex when you're in a new relationship
Is it wrong to meet coffee with an ex when you're in a new relationship?
I've been dating a guy I really care about for eight months now. We hit it off unusually fast and are now living together. He helps me out time to time financially and is very caring and loving. He's in his early/mid thirties and I am 23. We have our arguments now and then and I sometimes feel pressure to perfect and "have this perfect relationship" with him. I think arguing can be healthy for a relationship when both parties are able to get over it quickly. It keeps things exciting every once in a while. My ex and I of almost three years officially broke off all contact after I became interested in the guy I am currently seeing. We were "on again off again" at the same and when I officially broke it off (we really were not getting along, whatsoever), he decided to get some work experience in Peru since he'd just graduated. That was in August of 2010 and his contract at his job just ended. He is now back in the city. I do still care about him as a person, and am curious to see if he's changed at all. I don't think there's any way possible I could love him more than who am with now, because we get along really well. However, he wants to get coffee. I don't know how i'd feel afterwards and I don't like disrespecting the people I am seeing. I just don't know how wrong getting coffee with an ex is. I know I probably shouldn't, but at the same time, I am only 23. What's wrong with getting coffee?

yes.

Of course it's wrong. How would you feel if your current b/f went off to meet his ex for a coffee?
3 :
There's nothing wrong with getting coffee. What's wrong is getting yourself into a serious rebound relationship right after a long term one, and then moving in together after only 8 months. What's happening now is predictable, whether it's an old flame or someone entirely different, because you are moving at warp speed. You're trying to justify it by saying you're curious about him, but the truth is that after a 3 year relationship blew up, you weren't/aren't ready to be so serious with someone else. And the age difference is also significant. It sounds like he's about 12 years older than you and at your age this is quite a bit. I'd slow everything down.
4 :
Take your current BF with you to visit the old beau and all is well otherwise you are definetly cheating and no good will come of it, or break up first, move out, stop taking money and then go do what you please
5 :
What is wrong with it is that you think it is disrespectful to your current partner. Therefore, it is. If something makes you question whether it is right or wrong, it is usually wrong for you. Think how you would feel if your boyfriend went out for coffee with a woman he was seriously involved with in the past. If it would upset you if he did it, don't do it. If you can honestly say you'd be okay with it, then discuss this coffee meeting with your current boyfriend and if he expresses concern, don't go.
6 :
Ann, in my opinion your tempting fate by doing this and you have to ask yourself how would you feel if your current boy friend was doing this with some ex of his, especially if he didn't know about it. What if he saw you and the ex out having coffee? Not cool. I advise against it, but if you do go meet him its only fair that your current man knows about it.
