In Benin: February 2015
http://chazaqinbenin.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. End of the Premiere Semestre. I will keep this shorter because, trop parler, c'est maladie. Listen to this while reading:. TP Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou (Benin) - Trop Parler, C'est Maladie. It has been a little longer since my last update. I have spent most of my writing energy on letters and journaling, making true my pledge to reply to all written mail (the pledge still holds, I love letters). It is easy to see the plate piles up. Allez avec dieu,. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

In Benin: Simple Past Tense
http://chazaqinbenin.blogspot.com/2014/11/simple-past-tense.html
Friday, November 7, 2014. Class, is this English? The children looked frustrated and repeated pastèque. "C'est un fruit." Were they talking about the watermelon I ate earlier today? Another question." A boy who sits on the left, with a low brow, thick hair, and wide spread eyes asked, "Did you eat tchouk today? First, the correction at hand—"Class, do we eat water? Do we eat café? No, I did not eat tchouk today. Did I drink tchouk today? So and So Buys Cup of Coffee". They are just like us! No Sugar/Peac...

27 Months as an Education Volunteer with the Peace Corps. I’m sorry it has been so long, but we haven’t had much internet connection. Now that I know my training schedule and that the central training location has wifi, I’m going to bring my computer about once a week. At least that is the plan. The internet in Benin isn’t fast and sometimes I’m only able to check my email and can’t respond. There’s no real talent to it other than dumping bowlfuls of water over your head until the shampoo is gone. Ba...

Benin 2014, Stage 27 | Adventures in Benin
https://christieinbenin.wordpress.com/2014/06/24/benin-2014-stage-27
27 Months as an Education Volunteer with the Peace Corps. Benin 2014, Stage 27. Also, there was a volunteer in Africa who developed an app that she used for one of her service project and she asked Google to donate 3 tablets so that she could teach some other people in her village to use it. Instead, Google donated 1,000 tablets and our stage was lucky enough to get our own free tablet to use for our service! My group is a great group of people! My mailing address is:. 8211; Meghan Eicher, Virginia/ Wash...

In Benin: January 2015
http://chazaqinbenin.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 2, 2015. La Congé or Taking Leave. Joyeux Noel et Bonne Ann é. First, take a listen to this great sengalese mixtape:. Number One de Dakar '83. Ok, now the mood is set. How are you? Moi-meme, I am doing alright. I write to you from another dusty harmattan evening in Natitingou. The winter break is coming to a close, too short as always, but I am prepared to get back to work. But let me tell you a little about my break. Typical Beninese Highway Travel. One of a old mother who passed peacefu...

In Benin: September 2014
http://chazaqinbenin.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2014. Bonjour tout le monde,. I write to you from Natitingou. A city built in a. Valley between the Atacora Mountain Range. Life is slower in the. North, people speak softer, and there are less mosquitos, drier,. Sleepier. This Sunday morning, all of the volunteers posted in the. Department (Beninese equivalent of a state) of Atacora and Donga have. Voyaged to the north. Our baggage is on its way, and as you can. Imagine, it is difficult to move thirteen people across the country.
