I am officially a volunteer. Woohoo! My site is a small town of less than 2,000 people, and currently I am working in 3 schools, with 8 sections of classes throughout the week. Pretty exciting stuff eh? Currently, I am just adjusting to my new surroundings, so not much to report. Today I went to one of the major cities to go the the bank and have lunch with a friend... in an air conditioned environment. It was glorious! I will never underestimate air conditioning and toilets again. I have attached some pictures of my new place. There`s the chicken that tried to run away (silly chicken), my room and closet (rope running the length of my room), my shower and bathroom (bucket with water and latrine), and a little artsy goodness. Enjoy and I will fill you in on the details when they happen. Love and miss you all. Remember to smile, always. aleia
