Wow... so this is the first time ive gotten the blog to work since Ive been at site. Im not really sure where to begin. First of all thanks so much for all the birthday messages, letters over the past few months and packages. Though we dont get our mail delivered too often up here, I am always so happy to hear from people at home!!
Ive been living in Azua for exactly 4 months now and have really enjoyed it so far. Ive started to get busy with projects recently so thats good. My closest PC neighbor got moved to South Africa, so that was sad, but I still get to meet up with other PCVs in Nkwanta every few weeks or so. Nkwanta is the old district capital (they just split the disctict into 2 and i now live in Nkwanta-North) the closest place to use a computer. There is a World Vision Office here and they let us use them. Im getting to work on some projects with World Vision and am really happy about that. After sponsoring a kid through them when I was in high school, its really cool to see the money they raise being used for projects in the community.
So i ride my bike alot here! The cars that come by where i am arent really relable plus its expensive, so its alot easier to ride my bike. I travel around to the surrounding villages alot as well as working in Azua.
The cheif and elders and a bunch of random people at my naming ceremony. So they gave me a name in the local language-- Kokomba so everyone calls me Bintreme, not Becka. No one really even knows my real name, its kinda funny.
