Back at school

Things are great here. I am really happy to be staying longer. I am helping to create a budget at school for the boarders, teachers and for the genreal running of the school. I am spending the next three weeks doing remedial, remedial English (starting with the ABC's). It's going to be fun. Learning nouns, tenses, all the basics so that they kids can really start speaking. It is too hard teaching biology in English when they don't understand anything you are saying. So we're starting from the beginning.

I am getting much better at getting around town without help. I can ride the dalla dalla alone and I am even starting to pick up some Kiswahili. I am much better at understanding what is being said and very bad at saying anything, but the kids love when I speak with them.

Hi Ema,
You really do have a way of making the work you're doing sound so inviting and needed. You don't have many posting but I hope you have many readers.
