So after this thursday I will be posting a lot less regularly. I am off to Homestay which means i will be living in a village with a malian family. I will have my own room and get to stop living out of a bag. It was really cool here today at like 85 degrees. Sorry for not posting as much, I had a rough day yesterday but today is going great and I really love being here. Started learning bambara today and I am getting pretty good at it. I hope this post finds every one really well. Today was a cool training day we got to start looking at our sector of work, and in WatSan (water sanitation) we get to do anything from fish hatcheries, to garden work, to wells, to digging negens (toliets). I am looking forward to my work and my two years of service.
N taraa!!!
This is just the beginning of an incredible experience. Enjoy the ride. We miss you and love you Mom and Dad
