hello everyone, thanks again for continuing to read. I'm sitting here at the 'Big Faim' a restaurant in Thies (which means 'big hunger' in frenglish) enjoying a bottle of red wine and a cheese burger...oh how delicious food can be. I'll be here for 2 weeks of IST (in-service-training) we're learning mostly technical skills such as grant writing procedures, ideas for health demonstrations (called causeries) and other possible projects. After IST there will be an English camp here in Thies which I volunteered to help out at. It's a summer camp for local high school students who are learning English, basically we get to play games, do arts and crafts and ONLY speak English with them all day long, I'm extremely excited, this is going to be a nice month-long break from site.
In addition to updating you on my current activities I want to point out that I recently upload a bunch of new pictures on my Picasa account (a new album and many added to 'at the site until IST' album), see the link on the right side of the page. I'll also have access to internet and skype until about the 7th of august so look for me on there. Thanks again for reading I miss you all.
Shout outs of thanks to those who have sent me things!
