So amid concerns and protests that I don't update my journal regularly =), here is the update for the past week and a half. This past week at the nursery was interesting. Each day the kids seem to become more and more comfortable with the "white" teachers there. Meaning that they seemed to hit each other and us with more fervor than the week before. Some kids were exceptional misbehaving, such as Rehema, who insisted on practically eating a pencil. But every time we took it away from her, she...

So teaching is definitely getting better and better, but I'm transfering to the high school anyway so I'm trying to make an impact on the primary school students while I can. I'll most likely visit them in the afternoon, depending on what periods I'm teaching over at the secondary school (History for Form 4 students and Geography for Form 2, and possibly some math classes, which I'll get details on tomorrow). Today and yesterday, I took over Quinn's English lessons. I think they're actually g...

This weekend was interesting. Saturday was Jamie's birthday, so we spent a night at the Movenpick, this nice hotel downtown. We got some hot water showers and a lot of pool time, and we even went dancing in the club downtown (except the music wasn't that great, apparently they usually have a better DJ). The hotel was nice until I started thinking over my purpose for being here, so I felt really out of place because I didn't come to Africa to stay in hotels and take hot showers and sit around ...

Mambo, I'minAfricaI'minAfricaI'minAfricaI'minA fricaI'minAfrica. I'm doing very well here in the Motherland these days. I've been loving my life lately. Where to begin, ok, I'm not in the orphanage these days, thats pretty big news. The trip there was over an hour and required a bike taxi, 2 dalla-dallas, and a 15 minute walk, and thats only one way. My knee was failing miserably. After a wonderful talk with the best fiancee in the history of fiancees and some common sense I decided to work c...

... Soma to get some things for Sports Day such as balls, sweets etc. We planned to have ice-cream in a very nice place, but 10 or 15 minutes later the man came back to tell us we couldn't have any as all the ice-cream had melted!! We were very disappointed, so we went to another restaurant called the Tea Room which I had been to at the beginning of my trip where the food was delicious. It is an Indian restaurant which is very nice and cheap! Holly and Hayley ...

... major" companies in town, but with no luck - they were all super-expensive luxury packages, or I would be on my own (which would be more than a luxury safari with a group!). As I left one of the offices, a guy named Jacob grabbed me and asked me if I was looking for safari... he told me he had a group of Germans leaving for a 5-day safari on the 5th, and was looking for more people... well, that happened to be the date I was looking to go, so we went to his office ...

... They started processing my checks. I signed them and handed them to the man inside the office. When he started shaking his head and throwing up his hands, I started to worry. He looked up from behind the counter and told me my signatures did not match. Now what, I thought as I beseeched him and handed over my credit cards, driver's license and tried to convince him it was really me. Jeremy and the Bishop came to the rescue. I finally got my cash after the Bishop vouched for ...

... may or may not accidentally end up dead. I flew overnight, 11 hours to London. I spent 7 hours in heathrow International. We met as a team at our gate for the first time, and flew overnight another 10 hours to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. We landed and drove 6 hours to the town we worked in. I was in the same haze as when I did the interview. My eyes were foggy as I stared out the bus window, trying to take it in ...
