Liupo, Nampula here I come!

I had a big week last week! First off, I had a great experience visiting an orphanage! It was heartbreaking and uplifting all at once. A majority of the kids have no parents or family members and others were just abandoned. They all have a great spirit though and were so much fun. We played games, sang and danced. It really was a good time despite the circumstances. On Thursday we found out where we will all be living at for the next two years...it was the longest day of my life. I will be living in Liupo, Nampula with one other volunteer. It is northern Mozambique about 45-60 minutes from the beach. We are actually opening up a site which is pretty cool. The community leader is a woman which is also really cool because gender roles here are much different than in the states. Members of the community actually built the house we will be living in. I have a feeling it is going to be a really special experience. My Portuguese is coming along. I will be teaching 3 chemistry lessons in the coming two weeks which I am super nervous about. I am working through an ear ache at the moment. Only 2 more weeks of training...I uploaded new pics! Check them out!
