Okay so a lot of things have happened lately. So here is what I know.
First, We had a polio campagne. I traveled in my village to different houses while Remi and Hadissa gave the vaccine and a vitamin A supplement. It was really cool thing to be apart of and I got to see a lot more of my village and meet more and more people. I think it was really good for integration.
Second my village celebrated yet another Muslim holiday - TABASKI - It is the fete du mouton - The fete of sheep. So if the Muslim family can afford it they buy and kill a sheep and feast. I went to my Majors house and it was a lot of fun. Then...
I went home but stopped to say hi to Hadissa and her family and say Ne Y Taabo! So I was hanging out and then they gave me a leg of SHEEP!! Suck a generous gift! I was blown away! They told me that I could keep it for a week but...... I DON'T think so.. I ate it in 3 days... and I was impressed with myself that I didn't get sick or make anyone else sick because keeping meat without refrigeration.. is scary business.
Third THANKSGIVING
I went to a neighboring village about 25 kilometers away. The volunteer there is in the girls education sector and had gotten a package with stuffing and she has potatoes and I bought my chicken gravy packet. It was really fun. She also has the ingredients for green bean cassarole. It was also fun to see another village and meet some more people. It was really fun and I actually I am hopeful that we can work together because I want to start a girls group when my French gets better.
Gardening
So recently I traveled to Bobo and did a formation on gardening. We worked with prisoners the first two days and then with HIV positive women the next two days. It was really interesting and it help my French because I had to learn new vocabulary. I also want to do an irrigation system because we don't have much water in Toeghin.
SALFO :(
So here the jobs are different. You don't pick a place and then find a job. You get a job and then find a house and people are affectated on a regular basis. So that being said, one of the nurses at my CSPS is leaving. It is only 3 km away but I am sad nonetheless. He was who I spent my first day with at the CSPS so I feel like I have a bond with him. And I've actually gone through a lot with him and am sad. This is Salfo:
