The good:
- We had PACT club at the primary school, with students
AND teachers!
- PACT at Lempu for the 2nd week in a row
- I’ve used my soccer ball to hang out with kids some- whee!
- I’m building relationships at the schools and clinic-
slowly but surely
- Lempu wants me to talk to ALL of the girls at school –
whoa/yikes, but yay for school initiative, and a platform to recruit for a
girls club!
- I was able to pay rent, YAY!
- I got a stove and gas tank from MOE, YAY!
Works in Progress:
- The class schedule keeps rearranging at Lempu, so I keep missing one class I want to talk to. Oh well, onto next week!
- Still looking for a place with electricity to show some
HIV/AIDS films in the community
- Planning multiple workshops for teachers, and looking
for people to work with me on them and clubs
- Not broiling.
It’s been freaking hot lately. I've discovered that dunking my head in water and sitting in front of my
fan is particularly effective.
- My attitude. I
don’t want to be a downer about everything, and I’m beginning to loosen up more
and be less frustrated about stuff (of course, it really helps that things
seemed to work this week!).
The bad:
- Ministry of Ed wants my entire group to to go a workshop in 2 weeks- oy.
The completely random:
- A truck came and dumped a load of sand in my yard at
3:45am one day this week. Huh??
- Got complemented by one of the nurses that I have a
nice pelvis. She was like, you’ll have
no trouble delivering babies! Me: … Uh,
good to know! o.O
- A bird flew in and out of my room and scared the
bejesus out of me for about 30 seconds.
- Saw the Salajwe branch of the Botswana democratic party
meeting under a tree near my house.
