Just another typical week in the village. Tuesday morning I woke up motivated and determined to get some programs started. So I went to the school, the clinic, and to see Ba Annie. Nothing. Defeated I went and home and did some stuff around the house. My iwes wanted to help...well...really they just wanted popcorn. But they brought me some water and swept the yard, etc. As helpful as they try to be; they really add more stress than anything.
Wednesday ended up being a bit more fruitful. My main counterpart, Gilbert, came to see me. I hadn't seen him since February.Turns out he was in driving school all that time and just never told anyone. Then in the afternoon I went to the clinic and the clinic in charge bought me a leg of goat from a man walking around selling them out of a mealie meal sack. Delicious! And a nice treat for me and my family. Really...Americans never really eat goat. We're missing out you guys. Also I tried my hand at grinding millet by putting the millet in between two stones and moving the top stone back and forth. Does this make sense?
Thursday I made a program at the school for next week. A friend is going to to a condom demo for the boys and talk about HIV. I'm really excited to have him and I think he'll do a good job. Then I went to the clinic to pass out Vitamin A and de-worming tablets to all the kids and I watched them cry as the nurse gives them shots. Bwahaha!
