Hello everybody,
Aug has been quite a month. I have now been out of my site for over 3 weeks. It all started with a girls camp called Camp GLOW. Two girls from my village and fellow Peace Corps villages were able to attend so a total of 33 girls from all over central province were there. It was a chance for the girls to learn about life skills, how to boast their self esteem, to dance, sing and play games. It was a great week and one of my highlights of being here so far. They I went to Lusaka for a week long training. Everybody that came to Zambia in my group in Jan 2006 and the group that came in Jan 2005 were there. It was alot like training and it was great to see everybody again. The highlights were going to Subway, eating a hamburger, a real grocery store and seeing a few movies. Then I headed down south to Livingstone with 10 other people. We did a sunset cruise the first night and saw a HUGE elephant. God, did that make me happy. They the next day we went to the Victoria Falls and man are they beautiful!!! Then on Wed (aug 23rd) we went white water rafting down the Zambezi river. Oh, was that a day or what. We went down 23 rapids and a few of then were class 5 (the highest class is 6). We flipped several times but that is when it got really interesting! Today, I can't really walk and am full of bruises. I almost drown a few times but I am still here :) It was sooooo amazing and can't wait to do it again. Today I am planning on heading back up...12 hours of transport sounds fun right :) I am very excited to get back to site and see my family!!! I hope you all had a good month...:) Keep the letters flowing.
Love you all!!
I hope everybody enjoys my site. I will try to update it as often as I can but since internet is limited, it may be hard but stick with me. Thanks everybody!
