Newly Arrived in Bolivia from United States

by Shantel
(Santa Cruz, Bolivia)

My family and I moved to Santa Cruz on January 2, 2016. Its been a month and are finding some things very difficult, such as navigating through government offices and fairness when going to offices to pay for a service. We have a 5 year old boy and were just told by the American School we need to know/ name 3 families if we want him to be considered for the American School. My question is how is that possible when we don't know anyone? we've had many other issues since we arrived and really wish I would have thought about doing more research prior to moving as I am a lover of blogs and pride myself on doing research. This time I left it to fate and what a disaster that has turned out to be. I enjoy meeting people and networking but as of yet, have not met or run into any other Americans. I would very much like to get involved with the community and hopefully get some answers to my questions as well as make new friends.

Kind Regards,

Shantel
