Hello! I am in Africa finally, which is pretty crazy. I just started living with my host family: Father, mother, aunt, and two kids (Brice who is 8 and Melodie who is 4). I have electricity in their house and my own room, but still go to the bathroom in a hole in the ground. I am pretty much okay with it now lol. Even though I am living like this now it is just for training...come Jan electricity will likely be no more!
Training is kind of like school...a bunch of different lessons all day long ranging in topic from language (on a related note, I was humbled in my French abilities when I arrived at my host house and NO ONE speaks English plus they go from French to various native languages plus it is SUCH a different culture I feel stupid when they try to tell me how to do things) and health (i drew my own blood today to create a sample slide in case I need to later if it is suspected that I have malaria) and sessions on health topics here and the healthcare system, etc. I haven`t eaten anything too crazy yet...rice couscous sauces etc.
Anyways I have too much to say to even write it all, plus I am using this stupid french keyboard so...Peace out!
