Where to start!!!! I have arrived safely in Zambia. I will post pictures next saturday on facebook and here.
After 17hours of travel we were welcomed by our excited training team. The 1st couple of days we were in Lusaka staying at a farmers training school. It was "different".
So I am learning Nyanja and my permanent site will be in eastern province of Zambia next to Malawi!
My home stay is amazing! I live with an older woman my "amai" (mother in nyanja) who has 5 children 19 an up. There are only 2 kids who live with me but all the neighborhood kids comee and watch me when im braiduing my hair on the weekends.
My hut is so comfy; I have a full size bed and a desk.
Right now its pretty cold 50 degrees in the morning but hot during the day. Soon it will be hot season, when the mangos are ripe!!!
Training is pretty brutal. Everything is planned for us the moment we wake up until we sleep.Now that we are at our homestays we have a bit more freedom. I think thats it for now.
Next week i'll bring my memory card and write out my entry b4 hand so its a little better.
I miss home but im having a blast now tha i'm a bit settled here in Zambia!
