quick update...

Hello everyone!

I am currently relaxing in the Peace Corps Rundu office, drinking cold Coke and eating chocolate! Ah...it's the little things. :) I also received a ginormous package from my wonderful grandparents, so it's definitely been a fantastic day!

News from my homestead:

Friday was International Teachers' Day, and my school hosted a celebration for the area schools. We cooked a TON of food, I got to meet a lot of teachers from the nearby school, and overall, it was a fun (but exhausting) day. Here are a few of the learners, helping get the meal ready...


One of the cats on my homestead had kittens in my cooking hut! They are tiny and adorable! 



The other big piece of news is... I've decided to get a puppy! :) One of my learners has a litter and I've picked one out. I will pick her up next weekend. She is so cute that I've hardly been able to stop thinking about it... I'm so excited! I'll post pictures as soon as possible!

This coming week I'll be travelling to Tondoro, a nearby village, to shadow another volunteer. I'm really excited about getting another perspective and even more ideas to use at my school. It should be a fun time! :) But, I will be without internet for the week - so stay tuned for more news next weekend!

    I read your blog like you're speaking to me; it is almost like you are telling your adventures over the phone. It is quite comforting because I do miss you so!
