November

Not realizing how long it's been since i've written on here, i'll give a little update for everyone. I completed my first real project, i and my school director and a couple friends drew out the world ma p and mounted it on the side of the school. Sometime soon i want to teach a few geography lessons in the school. I harvested my millet, though unfortunately my soybeans didn't come up, i think because i bought them out east where the soil is different. I have a garden now, and i'm still doing radio shows and my weekly sensibilzations at the health clinic. After thanksgiving i'll be taking a week long bike ride out in zinder, the eastern most region we go to, and we'll be doing aids awareness talks. After that I have a meeting for the volunteer advisory commitee, which i was just elected for, and this group basically makes sure the volunteers voices are heard in policy changes and decisions. I have a few more projects in the works, but most of my time is still spent hanging out and talking with my villagers, thinking about life after peace corps, and reading a good deal.
