Hello everyone! Hope all is well wherever you are in the world. I do not post as frequently as I would like. I miss my laptop and I hate monopolizing my roommate's computer. I will continue to do my best.
Since my last blog, we have been slowly but surely settling into our new house. We have a puppy now. His name is Pavlov Batdog Hornickel-Caffrey. He is part German shepard and part of something else but not sure. He is sooooo cute when he isn't being a jerk ;-). School started back up. I am still teaching all of 9th grade English and one class of 8th grade English. It is still a tough job!
Club news...I will be opening my club up again next week! I really hope it does well. I am helping some other volunteers organize a club at their sites too! I will hopefully be collaborating with more people as the year goes on. I got in contact with an organization that gives books and such to start up little libraries and they would like to help me out. I will keep you all posted once I am up and running again!
Liupo is now its own district! It came as a surprise but no one tells us anything a lot of the time anyways. School was cancelled this past Thursday and Friday to celebrate and welcome our new Administradora, District Director of Education and Director of Saude. I have just seen the new Administradora but I have heard that the other Directors are women as well. GIRL POWER IN LIUPO! I have spent a lot of time out and about celebrating with the community...dancing, eating cow brain, helping make a reed rug, eating some more...It has been a good time!
We hired a student to come and help us around the house since we will be getting busy. He goes to the market for us and does are laundry and other odds and ends. It is soooooo worth the money. I hate doing laundry!
Things are looking up for us now. We are much safer and we appreciate everyone's support and encouragement. Until next time...
