:D

1 month of absence. This is a good thing. I am busy and having fun, the days fly and I am truly falling in love with everything over here. The kids are cute and amazing, teaching is so satisfying but challenging, I love the noise, the dirt, the heat and the insects. Eh, scratch that last one. The cockroaches and lizards are not very much fun.

Update right now: It’s 22.15 over here, I’m on my bed, I just ate dinner after coming back from the orphanage, I have a horrible cold so I feel weak and tired and dirty, and my nose doesn’t stop running, so we’ll see what happens tomorrow.  

Pictures and social media updates from the last month.

With Rhoda, one of the aunties at the orphanage, at her friend's wedding. 

I wore some curtains. 

At the market with Mavis our cook!

Bevin and Alfred, two of my fellow teachers. They're hilarious!

With Kowsa, my buddy from Class 4. 

We got creative with flowers and leaves at the orphanage! This is Destiny!

Rewarded Class 6 with juice boxes! Pay attention to Clement in the background! He's a doofus and the class clown, but he is the most intelligent out of them all. 

Nii at the orphanage!

Gifty, the cutest little demon ever! She is with her new family over in the States now, talk about bittersweet!

Stephanie. She makes me happy.
