Update

The past 3 weeks have been pretty crazy but amazing.  The school I am working at just opened a few months ago and is a mess.  This past week I have managed to create an entire curriculum for the school, assess the kids, and create progress reports.  Two other volunteers and I have also purchased them all desks, a chalk board, and their school supplies including a backpack.  My next project is to set up HIV testing for all the kids and create a sponsorship program so that they can be sent to an English Medium school so they can actually have a chance at secondary school.  I also got to visit 5 of the kids homes so far and are going to 5 more after school tomorrow.  It was heart breaking to meet their families, see where they live, and hear their stories.  The kids are so beautiful and so naughty!  There are two types of students in Africa, the amazing ones that stand and greet you when you enter the room and are amazingly well behaved and then the kids that I teach that beat the crap out of each other!  They want us to hit them with a stick but I refuse!

The house is still bonkers... living with 31 people!  We have not had water in days.  People think Im African but really Im just dirty!  This past week I have been on 4 modes of transportation that have either broken down or just kicked us out of because.  

Last weekend we all went camping and played soccer against an HIV team.  I am going to post some new pictures soon. 

Things people never tell you about Africa: Safari is freezing and bring laxatives

Days without a shower: 4 (not bad, my record is 10)

What I miss most: washing my hands

I miss you all and hope you are all doing well!
