So, misy vaovao! (which means "there is news!" in Malagasy....kinda like saying, "Hey, guess what's up!") I am coming home for 1 month in July!!! Oh, and I'm extending my service here in M-car so that I'll be staying another year :) Crazy, I know! There have been some really good opportunities here, so I am staying.....but NOT forever for those of you who worry!
My plan WAS to stay in my town and finish some projects that I had started. But.....some opportunities have presented themselves and I just can't pass them up. So, I will have to say goodbye to Anjozorobe (not an easy thing!) and move to the capital where I have 2 exciting jobs. The first is working with the Ministry of Education on developping a middle school English curriculum....following in my family's footsteps! I really do love teaching and "igniting" young minds. Who knew :) The second- working with a Malagasy tv station on a tv show promoting English to teenages. It's called "Teen Talk" and I already appeared with some of my girls from my Girls Club. We were guest speakers talking about "how cool is your school!". So, I will try to get a copy for you all to see.
Well, I gotta jet, but ;ark your calendars- I'll be home in July! I'll send more details when I get them, but plan on some good get-togethers :)
Much love,
A :)
