Hello!

I would first like to apologize for not posting for so long. It's been difficult to find internet access lately and when it's available it is extremely slow. Right now I am at IST or in service training. We talked a lot about our secondary projects which we will be working on during summer break. I'm not sure fpr sure what I'll be doing yet but I've talked to a few people about starting a school lunch program. Right now students get to school at 7:45 and leave a little before 2, sometimes without having eaten for that entire time. This is definitely a barrier to learning as the students are tired and just want to go home by the time the last class period comes around. It doesn't help that this is also the hottest part of the day and we certainly don't have AC. Some other smaller projects I've been considering are wall murals, Malaria or HIV/AIDS sensibiisations, and a school garden. We had a really cool session during this week of training where everyone shared their project ideas. It definitely got me motivated and I'm excited to see what we accomplish as a group.

There are a ton of stories I could tell now but unfortunately I just don't have the time to type them all up. Geoff and I are planning to go to Conakry in a couple weeks for a traning related to Malaria Month which is this April so I will probably have access to good internet then. For now, I'll leave you with these photos.


Just kidding. The internet is to slow and I can't get them to load. Maybe in a few weeks. Later!
