i am just returning from my site visit, and let me tell you: i have the best site in peace corps history. my house is on the school's campus, and they just rebuilt it. it's brand new, with a shower, flush toilet, running water, kitchen, and electricity.
the school is wonderful, pretty small (200 some students, deaf kindergarten through jhs, technical, and a mental unit). it's about a mile from the center of town, so it's close to anything i would need.
my city is the capital of the region but still a fairly small place, so it's more laid-back than some of the big cities in the south.
i'll move in to my new house in just a few weeks. then i start teaching sometime in september! yay!
what?! That's your house!? all that worrying, and no hut? I'm kinda bummed :D
ReplyDeleteThat's the CUTEST thing I've ever seen! Are there other teachers living in similar places? Hey, Joy's mom--I want to send a photo frame--do you have photos you want to send?
ReplyDeleteJoy do you have a small screwdriver to get into the turnbuttons?
YAY!
What a wonderful home!! It is sooo cute! Can't wait to see the inside. :-) Thanks so much for the updates - I love reading them!
