In the pearl of africa. New faces. new places. its just life. Good times.good friends.

In the pearl of africa. New faces. new places. its just life. Taking things slowly slowly. Things lately have been good, but slow. I have now been to site for just over a week and have only been organizing my home. Its hard to do any work since the schools are on holiday. The pupils come back on Monday though, so things will start to pick up. We are in the process of trying to fix everything in my house, and I still need a bathing area, but it will get there. Posted by me at 5:33 AM. From PCT to PCV!

In the pearl of africa. New faces. new places. its just life. Well, another week down, and more to go!
