Michelle in Mozambique: Nothing's easy
http://michelleinmozambique.blogspot.com/2012/09/nothings-easy.html
Wednesday, September 19, 2012. One chore that I absolutely dread here is getting my gas tank filled. I use a gas tank for cooking in my house and it runs out about once every 6 months. When that last bit of gas comes out and the stove stops working it's a sad moment since I know that I'll have to get it filled. 150 mets which is BLASPHEMY! The guy just stood there! Anyway, he finally went off and I got in the car, a little shaky from my recent encounter. Unfortunately this isn't the end of the story.

Michelle in Mozambique: December 2011
http://michelleinmozambique.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Things I can't wait to do in 72 hours. Things I plan to do in the United States while I am home:. Use a washing machine and dryer! Heat up some food in a microwave. Take a long, hot shower. Go skiing—pray for snow for me! Dry my hair with a hair dryer. Wash dishes in a sink with running water, or even better in a dishwasher. Eat ice cream (I'm not going to go farther into other foods that I'm craving because this list could go on forever). Go to the movies! Most volunteers don...

Michelle in Mozambique: JUNTOS WORKSHOP 2012
http://michelleinmozambique.blogspot.com/2012/08/juntos-workshop-2012.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. JUNTOS workshops happened in June and July. I was fortunate enough to be able to work and help out with two workshops, one in Gaza province and one in Maputo province. At each conference participants from 5-6 local JUNTOS groups were invited to participate. At the Gaza conference we had 8 participants from each group, 5 facilitators, a tech trainer, and an enthusiastic group of volunteers present. The tech trainer was wonderful in terms of technical experience. The kids had a ...

Michelle in Mozambique: Daily Challenges
http://michelleinmozambique.blogspot.com/2012/08/daily-challenges.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Yesterday, I was headed into Xai-Xai on a chapa and an Asian man entered at one point on the way. There are a good number of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean people here working in Mozambique. After about 15 minutes I realized that a man in the front row was trying to talk to him and basically harassing him in the process: “Hey China! Why you have no car? In China car cost 2 dolla! 8221; I realized after a bit that this man also didn’t speak any Portuguese. It is spoken within Fra...

Michelle in Mozambique: May 2012
http://michelleinmozambique.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 25, 2012. The Adorable Children of Mozambique. These are mostly pictures of Francelino's brothers, sisters, and cousins, but the kids here are just so cute and love having their pictures taken! I figured everyone would enjoy these. Lately things have been going well with work here, however I can't help but be constantly reminded of how the simplest tasks can be so complicated here! Since then it has worked well! It makes things so much easier! It's a lot of work, but it should be really fun!

Michelle in Mozambique: January 2012
http://michelleinmozambique.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 27, 2012. Photos of the destruction done to my school by the tropical storm which hit us last week. Sunday, January 22, 2012. Tuesday, January 3, 2012. I appreciated down time, hanging out with friends on the couch and watching a movie, and definitely appreciated having a car at my disposal instead of having to rely on unreliable public transportation, as I do in Mozambique. I know all of this existed in 2010 when I left, but everyone seems to be much more dependent on them. The goodbyes ...
