Ghana updates...

So this whole blog thing doesnt work so well when it takes me a full day to get to the internet but I hope I can update u all a little. Im am still enjoying life in the village. I love the people there and feel like slowly slowly things are getting done. I have gotten buys these past few months with a malaria/ mosquito net project, farming, PEPFAR HIV conference, HIV days at our differnt sites in the district, teaching at the school and a painting an HIV mural and huge world map with the students. We also did a big program on family planning with the local football teams where the teams made up dramas to teach ppl about family planning.

I am also really excited that two students from Azua made it into high school and are leaving this week to go to school. We also have 4 girls going to middle school this year- up from 0 from the previous year. I love working with the students- mainly because they speak english and are so helpful. They are also alot of fun and always wanting to learn.

The rains have come these past few months which has made life so much more bearable- it also saves alot of fetching water time.

I am also a trainer for the new group of PCVs who have just arrived in country this past month. This week and the next few weeks I will be with them in the new trainging site, Kukuruntumi. Its interesting to be in the south. Things in the South of Ghana are alot more developed and western... while its nice to have internet and nicer roads somehow I like the village alot more!

So thats all my time for today... coming up... trip to Spain and Italy next month with my family and then their trip to Ghana!
